Abstract

Crude oil desalination and dehydration are necessary for storage, transportation, and processing procedures. However, the behaviour of fine emulsion droplets under an electric field has always been questioned. This paper modified the dissipative particle dynamics method (DPD) to study the deformation process of fine emulsion droplets under a high-strength electric field. Compared with the literature data, the reliability of the DPD method is confirmed. The influence of the crude oil properties and the electric field characteristics on the behaviour of the emulsion droplet was analysed, and the effect factors included electric field intensity, electric field frequency, emulsion droplet size, centre distance ratio, conservative force intensity, dissipative strength, and crude oil density. The relationship between critical electric field intensity and emulsion droplet deformation was formulated based on the simulational dates.
