Provided is an apparatus for detecting the presence of water in a current of liquid hydrocarbons. The apparatus comprises at least one pair of electrodes for detecting the presence of water in a sample zone in the current of liquid hydrocarbons located therebetween; alternating current generating circuitry for generating an alternating current between the electrodes; measuring circuitry for measuring the electrical impedance of the current of liquid hydrocarbons between the electrodes; and a processor for collecting data from the measuring circuitry, processing the data and outputting the data for use in detecting the presence of water in the current of liquid hydrocarbons. A method is provided for detecting the presence of water in a current of liquid hydrocarbons and for quantifying the amount of free water present in a current of liquid hydrocarbons. An apparatus is provided for quantifying the amount of free water present in a current of liquid hydrocarbons.

A petroleum desalting process in which the role played by the oil/bulk-resolved-water interface in the dehydration of the stabilized emulsion which forms in the desalter is recognized. The desalting process is improved by introducing the demulsifier and chemical high voltage electrodes. Water droplets in the mixture coalesce and settle towards the bottom of the vessel. A stabilized emulsion layer formed from the oil and the water with additives into the water phase and/or injecting chemical additives directly in the vicinity of the water/oil interface. This improved methodology that makes the rapid and effective delivery of chemical demulsifiers to the rag layer and/or oil/bulk-resolved-water interface possible. In operation, the desalting is carried out by mixing a crude oil to be desalted with water and passing the mixture of oil and water to the desalter vessel. The mixture enters the desalting vessel in the form of an emulsified mixture which is then separated by application of an electric field between emulsion-stabilizing solids from the oil forms above the interface between the denser water layer and the supernatant oil layer. A chemical demulsifier is added to the water layer in the region of the stabilized emulsion layer and/or directly into the emulsion layer itself. The separated water is removed as effluent through a water outlet at the bottom of the vessel and desalted oil is removed from the oil layer through an oil outlet at the top of the vessel.

A petroleum desalting process in which fluid from interfacial boundary layer between the settled water layer and the settled oil layer or emulsion-water layer in the vessel is withdrawn from the desalter and recycled to the crude oil inlet of the desalter to improve separation of the oil and water phases.

A method for detecting hydrocarbons with an underwater vehicle equipped with one or more measurement components is described. The method includes navigating the UV within the body of water; monitoring the body of water with measurement components associated with the UV to collect measurement data. The collected data from the UV is used to determine whether hydrocarbons are present and at the location.
