Abstract
- Droplet diameter distributions (DDD) were acquired in a crude oil production plant.
- The droplet mean diameter decreases in the flow direction of the separator.
- The effect of demulsifier concentration and electrostatic grid was quantified.
- DDD data are valuable for the optimization of separation processes.
- DDD measurements provide insights in industrial processes involving dispersions.
