Dehydration of Crude Oil – D2892 (De-watering)
High levels of water in crude oil make fractional distillation difficult. Water has a hard time vaporizing from the boiling flask and getting through the distillation column packing. Water drops in the distillation column head causes fluctuation in the vapor temperature causing inaccurate vapor temperature readings. D2892 requires that crude oil samples have 0.3% water […]
