| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and system for reducing the viscosity of crude oil and improving the dehydration thereof, using a process in which the crude oil is passed over a centre that ionises-polarises same with an electrostatic charge. The centre consists of a metal bar made from an alloy comprising: 40-70 wt.-% copper, 10-32 wt.-% nickel, 15-40 wt.-% zinc, 2-20% tin, and 0.05-10 wt.-% silver. The metal bar of the nucleus comprises a plurality of grooves, which allows the crude oil to be agitated while in contact with the centre, activating an electrostatic charge. The electrostatic charge from the centre creates a magnetic catalytic reaction that causes: (1) a molecular separation in the molecular chains inside the crude oil, thereby reducing its viscosity, and (2) stretching and twisting caused by the molecular ionisation-polarisation of the crude oil, as a result of which added or connate water trapped therein is released, thereby improving the dehydration of the crude oil. |
