Title:
METHODS FOR THE SEPARATION OF AT LEAST ONE EMULSION BY APPLYING AN ELECTRICAL FIELD AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/129722
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the break-up of at least one emulsion and separation of the light and heavy phase with at least an de-emulsification rate of more than 9 % in only one apparatus (module) within less than 5 min by applying at least one time dependent or temporal changeable electrical field wherein the at least one electrical field is a high frequency (HF) singular alternating current (AC) field with an electrical field strength between 2,000 and 100,000 V/m and a frequency (HF) between 12,000 Hz and 200,000 Hz. The present invention relates furthermore to a method for the treatment of at least one emulsion by applying at least one direct current (DC) field and at least one high frequency alternating current -HF/AC field wherein the at least one DC field, in particular a pulsed DC- field, and the at least one HF/AC field are applied in series to the emulsion to be treated. The present invention refers further to a device for conducting said methods.
