Q138
The pressure (kg/cm2) and temperature (°C) maintained in electrical desalters for crude oil are respectively
A.
10 and 120
AnswerB.
1 and 200
C.
50 and 250
D.
10 and 300
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
In the electrical desalting process of crude oil, the main objective is to remove salts and other impurities by mixing the crude oil with water and applying an electric field. The typical operating conditions for this process involve maintaining a pressure of 10 kg/cm2 and a temperature of 120°C.
These conditions are optimal for the efficient separation of impurities from the crude oil.
Therefore, Option A: 10 and 120 is the correct answer.
