OIL & GAS SYSTEMS• Wärtsilä Vessel InternalElectrostatic Coalescer (VIEC®)The Wärtsilä Vessel Internal Electrostatic Coalescer (VIEC) is an fieldproven solution for separation of water from oil, improving productioncapacity, eliminating emulsion issues, reducing heating and chemicaldosage demand as well as space and weight requirements.VIEC enables operators CAPEX and OPEX savings as well as beinga preferred tool for de-bottle necking and solving emulsion issues.ConceptVIEC is a technology for enhancing liquid-liquid separation by usingalternating high voltage electrical fields.Modular construction consisting of several electrodes, whereeach electrode is electrically insulated and has its own dedicatedtransformer for transforming a low voltage feed to high voltage.Tolerates 100% water and 100% gas without short circuiting orarcing, making it ideally suited for use in any three-phase separator tospeed up separation of water dispersed in oil and/or to resolve stableoil-continuous emulsions.Benefits• z Increase crude oil productioncapacity• z Reduce weight and spacerequirements• z Reduce cost of production fluidheating• z Reduce consumption of chemicals• z Improve heavy oil separation• z Guaranteed separator performance(total BS&W output)118Features• z Fully insulated electrodesand low voltagepenetration and feeding• z Suitable for both newbuilds and retrofits• z Installation through 18” -24” manhole• z Field proven technology• z UL and CE markedequipment
