DEVICE FOR MICROWAVE PROCESSING OF WATER-OIL EMULSION TRANSFERRED BY PIPELINE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B01D17/06 E21B43/34 H05B6/78 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to preparation of commercial oil and may be used in petroleum industry for development of devices for super high-frequency processing of water-oil mixes. Proposed device comprises L_K-long cylindrical chamber with inlet and outlet branch pipes to connect said chamber to pipeline. Radiolucent sealed case is arranged on chamber inner face wall to accommodate electromagnetic power input and distribution device connected with SHF power source. Similar cases with emulation passage openings are fitted one into another and arranged atop aforesaid case arranged in adjacent cases, one is located at the end of the case and another one is located at its beginning. Inlet and outlet branch pipes are arranged between radiolucent sealed case and first straight-flow radiolucent case, and downstream of the last straight-flow radiolucent case. Tapered case may be used as sealed radiolucent cases. Odd straight-flow cases may have opening at case apex and have their base located back-to-back on chamber surface, while even straight-flow cases have their bases fitted on chamber surface with clearance. Sealed radiolucent case and straight-flow cases may have cylindrical shape of various diameters and be arranged coaxially on opposite walls of the chamber.

EFFECT: higher quality of separation.
