A Desalter is an essential part of crude oil refining operations, designed to remove salts, water, and suspended impurities from crude oil before it enters the atmospheric distillation unit. These contaminants, if not removed, can cause severe corrosion, fouling, and catalyst deactivation in downstream processing units.

MGV’s advanced electrostatic desalting systems utilize a high-voltage electric field to coalesce and separate water droplets from crude oil efficiently. The process ensures optimal dehydration and desalting with minimal chemical usage, providing cleaner feedstock for improved plant reliability and longer equipment life.

Our desalters are engineered for high performance, low maintenance, and flexible operation across a wide range of crude qualities. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, automatic control systems, and safety interlocks, they ensure continuous and safe operation even under demanding refinery conditions.

Whether for single-stage or dual-stage desalting, MGV’s solutions guarantee reduced maintenance downtime, extended exchanger run life, and improved environmental compliance. Designed with a strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, our desalters help refineries minimize water consumption and reduce waste disposal costs — delivering both operational excellence and economic value.
