Diesel Flushing with Water

Diesel Flushing with Water

Diesel Flushing with Water

(OP)
1) Has someone experienced with the flushing of the diesel with portable water and follow-up separation (via centrifuge) of the dissolved water to delute and remove the soluted sodium hydroxide? We use the bubbling method!

2) How it can be better achieved: to add dimulsifier to diesel and wash with or to wash first and then add dimulsifier?

Thanks everyone beforehand!

Just some description on the process.

  - We want to remove the residuals of sodium hydroxide via the mixing it with water by bubblung of air, and then to add demulsifier and centrifuge the water out.

RE: Diesel Flushing with Water

I recomend you use more pure water, we use demineralizated water to wash diesel to decrease Na, we use centrifuge to mixing and separe water from diesel, diesel is washed to avoid slagging a gas turbine.

Yulinio,

and how did you mix water with diesel? Via bublung of air  Maybe via mechanical mixer?

The source of pure water is very limited on our plant. Haven't you got the got results with the simple water? We also need to avoid slugging of gas turbine.

thanks,
Joisy
