Smart dehysalter system

Abstract

A system includes a vessel containing a crude oil inlet for introducing crude oil into the vessel; a fixed super-hydrophobic mesh subsystem comprising a fixed super-hydrophobic mesh; an inductor cup set system comprising at plurality of inductor cups, each of the plurality of inductor cups comprising a primary coil and a secondary coil, the inductor cups to determine an amount of water in the crude oil based on a comparison of the induced voltage between the primary coil and the secondary coil; a movable super-hydrophobic mesh subsystem comprising a super-hydrophobic mesh coupled to at least one stepper motor, the stepper motor to rotate the mesh by a predefined angle based on the comparison of the induced voltage determined by the inductor cups; and a metal grid subsystem comprising a metal grid electrically coupled to a transformer residing outside of the vessel, the metal grid to electrostatically dehydrate the crude oil.
