VIEC technology

Unique value proposition (UVP)

Effective crude oil separation is essential to achieve and maintain the highest possible production output at the lowest possible environmental footprint. Sulzer’s VIEC (Vessel Internal Electrostatic Coalescer) technology enables separation of oil/water emulsions by introducing an an electrical field using fully-insulated electrodes in the oil field separator, creating sufficient electrical field strength and retention time for emulsions and liquids to separate. This significantly reduces the operating temperature enabling considerable reductions in energy and chemical consumption, reducing the CO2 footprint and provides an immediate return on investment.

Key Benefits

Sulzer's VIEC technology improves crude oil separation efficiency, boosting production output while reducing environmental impact through lower energy and chemical consumption.
This technology decreases the operating temperature required for oil/water emulsion separation, significantly cutting energy use and CO2 emissions, thereby reducing operational costs.
Operators achieve immediate cost savings and enhanced sustainability due to substantial reductions in energy and chemical expenses with VIEC technology.
