METHOD FOR SEPARATION OF WATER-OIL EMULSION BY MEANS OF ELECTROHYDRAULIC ACTION, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B01D17/06 B01D17/04 

FIELD: oil, gas and coke-chemical industries.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for separation of water-oil emulsion by means of electrohydraulic action, device, as well as system for implementation of this method and can be used in oil industry. Method includes directed electro-hydraulic action on water-oil emulsion, using system, which contains at least one device for separation of water-oil emulsion. Device includes sealed housing 1 filled with fluid, in which two electrodes 2 are installed with clearance between them. Opposite walls of housing 4 in contact with water-oil emulsion are made from elastic material while other walls 6 are rigid. Electrodes 2 are connected to high voltage source 3. Device is hermetically installed in pipeline 5 so that elastic walls 4 of housing 1 are located along walls of pipeline 5.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of separation of water-oil mixture in pipe at simultaneous simplification and improvement of reliability of structure.
