    The document discusses the technology used in Frames Electrostatic Coalescers. It uses alternating current (AC) technology, which is proven and reliable compared to other options like direct current (DC) or combinations of AC and DC that can cause arcing and be more complex. Frames values reliability and simplicity, which is why it uses the core AC design. The size of Frames Electrostatic Coalescers is determined through a combination of physics and performance data to guarantee required performance while keeping the size and costs effective, with sizing depending on factors like crude and water properties and flow rates.

    AC-technology

    The Frames Electrostatic Coalescers are designed using Alternating Current (AC). AC is a proven and reliable
    technology. Although other types of power supply are available and promoted (DC, AC+DC) these are

    operationally demanding and bring significant draw-backs like a tendency for arcing (short-circuiting) and

    electrical complexity. Frames values reliability and operational simplicity and has embraced the AC technology
    at the core of its designs.

    The sizing of Frames Electrostatic Coalescers is characterized by a clever combination of physics and empirical
    data which has shown to be reliable and proven over the years. Frames Electrostatic Coalescers are optimized
    to guarantee the required performance whilst keeping their size and layout cost-effective. The Electrostatic

    Coalescer size depends, amongst others, on the crude and water properties, BS&W in Electrostatic Coalescer
    crude requirement and liquid flow rates.
