Abstract
The use of conventional electrostatic coalescers with bare metal electrodes for the separation of rich water-in-oil emulsions often causes the formation of a sponge-like emulsion. This effect was eliminated by the use of insulated electrodes in a coalescer that allow the application of high electric fields at the oil/water interface, resulting in a clean separation of oil from water.Keywords
