    Howe-Baker uses a basic engineering approach to design electrostatic desalters and dehydrators. They believe that if the problem is well defined and circumstances understood, the proper equipment using the correct safety factor can be specified. Single stage units are usually sufficient for dehydrating crudes, with BS&W carryovers ranging from trace to 1.0% depending on factors like crude type and temperature. Desalting involves adding water less saline than the feedstock to convert a dehydrator into a desalter. Typical single stage removals are illustrated in figures. Two-stage operations further reduce BS&W or salt content. Three-stage designs are used when feedstock BS&W is high and very low

    Howe-Baker's Approach To Desalter/Deydration Design

    Howe-Baker uses the "basic engineering" approach for the design and specification of
    electrostatic desalters and dehydrators. We believe that if the problem is well defined and the
    surrounding circumstances recognized, then the proper equipment, using the correct safety
    factor, can be specified.
    Figure 1

    One-stage Operation
    Dehydration (Figure 1) Single stage units are usually
    sufficient for dehydrating produced crudes. BS&W
    carryovers can range from trace to 1.0 volume percent,
    depending on crude type, operating temperature, inlet
    water content and other factors. "Other factors" include
    production methods, chemical treatments, handling
    procedures. Etc.
    Figure 2

    Desalting (Figure 2) Adding water which is less saline


    that the water contained in the feedstock crude
    converts and hydrator into a desalter.

    Figure 3

    Typical single stage removals are illustrated in Figure 3.

    Two-Stage Operation
    Dehydration/Desalter (Figure 4) - First stage reduces
    B. S. & W. content so that water added for desalting
    can dilute more effectively.

    Figure 4

    Figure 5
    Desalter/Desalter (Figure 5) - Two stage desalting is
    required when 90-95% salt removal is not good
    enough. Process water is injected into the second
    stage and recycled back to the First. 98-99% salt
    removals can be expected for most crudes.

    Figure 6
    Three-Stage Operation
    Dehydration/Desalter/Desalter (Figure 6) This design
    is appropriate when feedstock BS&W are high (say 540 volume percent) and product salt content must be
    low (2 ptb). The dehydrator reduces the BS&W

    Figure 7
    Desalter/Desalter/Desalter (Figure 7) - This design is
    rare but has been specified for applications on very
    heavy crudes and residua. When these oils are used
    as feedstock for cat crackers and turbine generators,
    very low sodium contents are required.
