When Japanese reners embarked upon a long-awaited program of expansion and up-grading they turned to NATCO EDD for state-of-the-art desalting to give them maximum performance and exibility in meeting future needs. Over 60% of the desalters installed in Japanese reneries in the past ten years have been supplied by NATCO
NATCO combines its more than half a century of crude oil dehydration and 30 years of eld and renery desalting experience to create a new leading edge crude oil desalting process. The new process, NATCOs patented and proprietary Electro-Dynamic Desalter was developed to replace the conventional mechanical mixing, multi-vessel, staged system. The Electro-Dynamic Desalter accomplishes this task by providing multiple phases of electrostatic mixing, coalescing, and settling in a single vessel allowing salt and dehydration efciencies to approach 100%. Five proven NATCO process technologies were united and conventionally structured to provide the rening industry with the rst real electrostatic desalting design innovation in over a decade! NATCOs Electro-Dynamic Desalter will provide two-staged desalting efciencies without the excessive capital investments or space requirements most common to these systems. Whether you are upgrading or expanding an existing facility or constructing a new installation, NATCOs new and unique desalting technology could provide you with the means to minimize installation costs and to substantially reduce operating expenses.

Electro-Dynamic Desalter
Increase Operating Efciency While Reducing Operational Expenses
The Electro-Dynamic Desalter, under a variety of conditions, can: Retrot to upgrade your single-stage system to two-stage performance. Increase the levels of salt removal over any other singlevessel process. Double the capacity of two-stage systems. Reduce initial capital costs for new installations. Allow higher inlet water cuts during upset conditions while maintaining specied efuent requirements. Allow for greater operational exibility by handling a wide range of feed-stocks. Improve efuent water quality. Decrease chemical consumption. Improve mixing efciency. Reduce dilution water requirements to as low as 1.5 percent of volumetric feedstock rate. Increase salt removal efciency. Require less space. Provide improved dehydration capabilities.
Individual operation conditions dictate actual performance levels
