1 Electrocoalescence a multi-disiplinary arena Electrical Engineering SINTEF Chemistry ELECTRO- COALESCENCE Physics NTNU CNRS Fluid Dynamics 1
2 Electrocoalescence project Need for smaller working equipment Objective: Fundamantal understanding of the electrocoalescence process under ac and turbulent conditions Clients: ABB, Statoil, Norsk Hydro, Petrobras Budget About 4MNOK/year in 4 years (3 researchers) + 3 PhD students + 1 postdoc. Today: Sedimentation: 5 meter diameter and 20 meter long Electrocoalsecers do not always work Project group: Electrical engineering, physics, fluid mechanics, chemistry. Our advantage: Internationally leading on liquid dielectrics. Good interdisciplinary environment. 2
3 Motivation for the work Establish a basic understanding of the physical mechanisms active in the electrocoalescence process Find restrictions for when the process can be used Establish possibilities for optimizing equipment and process technologies 3
4 Hypothesis for coalescence efficiency in AC fields Large field and forces between drops due to induced charges from the ac field 1. Longer contact times and higher impact velocities between water drops gives more efficient film draining 2. Instability of surfaces of adjacent water drops from forces acting on induced charges. This also may give a thinning of the surface layer (Maragoni effect) 3. Thinning of surface layers from electrostrictive forces acting on electric dipoles in the surfaces 4. Shockwaves from electric discharges between water drops 4
5 Our perspective: Electric ac fields induce charges that create forces between drops thereby increasing the coalsecencne efficiency when droplets meet barriers Turbulence creates shear movement in liquid. This results in more frequent drop meetings Turbulent energy profile 0.02 m R C V = 0 FLOW Turbulence and coalescence close to walls 5
