APPARATUS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF WATER-OIL EMULSION IN ELECTRIC FIELD Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: oil, petrochemical and mechanical engineering branches of industry. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has body 1 with inlet 2 and outlet 3 branch pipes and an electrode system made as current-carrying members secured in dielectric holders 6 mounted at right angles with the body axis and pressed to one another. The current-carrying members of the electrodes may be manufactured as rows of parallel strings, rows of parallel plates installed perpendicularly to the holder axis or at an angle with the latter, concentric rings made of wire or strip, a wire or strip spiral, rows of parallel strings or plates, or concentric rings made of wire or strip with a different space between the current-carrying members enclosed in different holders. EFFECT: improved water-oil emulsion destruction process. 6 cl, 10 dwg
