CONCEPT
VIEC is a technology for enhancing liquidliquid separation by using alternating high
voltage electrical fields.
Modular construction consisting of
several electrodes, where each electrode
is electrically insulated and has its own
dedicated transformer for transforming a
low voltage feed to high voltage.
Tolerates 100% water and 100% gas
without short circuiting or arcing, making
it ideally suited for use in any three-phase
separator to speed up separation of water
dispersed in oil and/or to resolve stable oilcontinuous emulsions.
REFERENCES
The Wrtsil VIEC technology has been installed in more than 40 production/
test separators worldwide and is approved by most major owner/operators

GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE
Wrtsil utilize an in-house laboratory for
executing VIEC screening studies on crude oil
samples from the actual field developments
evaluating VIEC utilization.
Based on such screening studies Wrtsil will
provide a performance guarantee for the total
BS&W at the separator oil outlet.
