Settlement Velocity of Emulsified Water in Settling Tanks

Aiming at the problem that a 5000 m³ settling tank in some oil production complex works with poor dehydration effectiveness, starting from increasing settling velocity of water, mathematical model of emulsified water is built up, causes in low temperature of settling tank and underload of heater are analyzed combined with field production condition and effective measures to raise settling velocity of emulsified water are put forward.
