That's awesome teomech! I got an email yesterday from an old instructor of mine saying that water washing is used to remove acids from the oil. I found an article on google from a refinery stating that they use water washing to remove salts that are carried by and not dissolved by the oil...
jme1976 Thanks for the link! TEOMECH - I don't have any more information other than giving you the whole question from the exam: "Explain why the water washing of oil is undesirable" (from what I can remember!)
I need some help with Boiler Safety Valve regulations. Does anyone know the value at which to set a boiler safety relief valve? like xx% or something?
Also I would like to know what oil water washing is. I've come across this question in an exam and need to know why water washing of oil is...
