Crude oil desalting

The operating costs and thus the profitability of a refinery depend on various factors, such as the reliability of the installations and the operating costs which are not directly related to the purchase of crude oil, e.g. the use of energy, the consumption of catalysts and the consumption of chemicals. In addition, the constant optimization of value creation plays a crucial role, i.e. which crude oil is processed and how.

In order to be able to influence all of these factors positively, it is extremely important that efficient and reliable crude oil desalting for the different crude oil deliveries takes place at the entry of the refinery.

GEA centrifuges can make a decisive contribution to the efficient and economical desalination of crude oil. This also includes the so-called “opportunity” crude oils such as heavy crude oil, tight oil and shale oil.
