Abstract

Procédé et appareil permettant d'effectuer la séparation, sensiblement à la pression atmosphérique, d'hydrocarbures ou d'eau présents dans une émulsion ou une dispersion d'hydrocarbures, d'eau et/ou de solides. On applique de l'énergie hyperfréquence sur l'émulsion ou la dispersion, à l'aide d'un guide d'ondes (3, 6) mis à une pression supérieure à la pression atmosphérique. L'énergie hyperfréquence peut être divisée, automatiquement accordée et transformée en une phase sensiblement circulaire. Le procédé et l'appareil selon cette invention sont tout particulièrement adaptés pour traiter des boues de champs pétrolifères situées dans des puits externes (100).
