Introduction to the course:

The course on crude oil desalting aims at desalter operators, managers, designers and R & D personnel in refineries and design (fabrication) oil companies to understand the underlying principles of electro-desalting and the various aspects and design principles of an electro-desalter so that one can operate, trouble shoot and even design the electro-desalters efficiently.

Broad Objectives:

The objective of the course is to introduce the participant to basics of the principles of electro-desalting, the microscopic processes in an electro-desalter, the design of the electro-desalter so that one can either take up newer designs of electro-desalters or operate and trouble shoot the operational electro-desalters in an efficient manner.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to do:

(a) Understand basics of the electro-desalting process, 

(b) Basics of the design of internals of a electro-desalter 

(c) Operational issues in a electro-desalter

(d) Formation and identification of rag layer 

(e) Doing salt balances on a electro-desalter

Targeted Audience/ Pre-requisite:
