Oil Dehydration & Desalter
AC-Direct®

AC/DC Desalter, Heater Treater & Electrostatic Oil Dehydrator Technology is common place and works extremely well with most medium/light oil applications.

AMR AC-Direct® vertical flow grid AC/DC technology moves water molecules through a stable DC field, causing larger coalescing of water molecules which provide higher grid flow rates and hence smaller vessels, when compared AC technologies. There is discussion that this AC/DC field also generates a weak AC attraction towards the interface level.
