Separation Profile at Continuous Dehydration Units

Continuous dehydration units separate water from crude oil to meet export quality specifications. The separation profile describes how efficiently water is removed at each stage of the process.

A facility's dehydration units were not achieving target water content specifications consistently. Variations in feed quality and emulsion stability made the process difficult to optimize.

Merus technology improved the separation profile by pre-treating the feed stream. The emulsion arriving at the dehydration units was less stable, allowing for more efficient water removal and more consistent output quality.
