Abstract
A systematic analysis of the state of the art in the methods for enhancing processes of thermochemical treatment of oil is carried out. A new method and a new system for controlling the process of dynamic settling of oil emulsion (OE) is developed, which allows increasing the efficiency of managing the process of dynamic settling by more accurately measuring the degree of phase separation, while avoiding the process of “flooding”. The mechanism of formation of an electrical double layer around emulsified water droplets (EWD) and the interaction energy of these droplets as a distance function is shown. An adequate mathematical model of hindered settling of EWD is proposed. It is shown that OE and intermediate emulsion layer (IEL) can be broken down by using microwave radiation. By virtue of this, the authors develop a new method, algorithm and system for automatic measurement of the water cushion level and the thickness of the İEL in settlers based on measuring the optical density of oil.
