CRUDE OIL TREATMENT APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR CRUDE OIL TREATMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process capable of efficiently recovering lots of oil component from discharged crude oil sludge so as to reduce or exhaust crude oil sludge without stopping operation of a crude oil tank while improving several problems at the time of discharging crude oil sludge from the tank.SOLUTION: A crude oil treatment apparatus (100) comprises tanks (1 to 5) which store crude oil (O) containing crude oil sludge (S), and a treatment section (8) which treats crude oil by imposing electric voltage on crude oil (O) supplied from the tanks (1 to 5) to produce static electric field.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
