RESOLV for SteadyState Desalter Operations

The Nalco Water RESOLV program aims to produce steady-state desalter operations by utilizing all available mechanical, operational and chemical levers. With an optimized desalter operation, refineries can take advantage of lower cost “opportunity” crudes without sacrificing performance. Opportunity crudes include those characterized by lower gravities, higher viscosities and solids loading (basic sediment and filterable solids) as well as crudes with a higher potential to cause oil under carry.
