Application Overview
De-salters are used in distillation units to remove chlorides, suspended solids and metal traces from crude oil during chemical and electrostatic desalting processes requiring level and temperature measurement instruments.
The Delta Controls Benefit
- Reduce plant downtime by online probe servicing
- Desalter-specific design maximizes interface measurement accuracy
- Robust design prevents potential process upsets
- Capacitive technology more cost effective than nuclear-based systems
