Key words: oil treatment parameters, water-oil emulsion, a coalescing element.
The results of studies of an oil emulsions dehydration process in laboratory devices with coalescing nickel foam fillings are presented. The possibility of estimating the oil emulsions dehydration level depending on the duration and intensity of their treatment with coalescing fillings is shown. Obtained results allowed to upgrade the method of determining the design technological parameters of the preliminary and final oil dehydration.
