Abstract
Certain embodiments may generally relate to systems and methods for developing and improving compact electrocoalescers for in-line dehydration of water-in-oil dispersions. A compact electrocoalescer may include a casing, and a plurality of bare or insulated conical-shaped electrodes housed in the casing. The electrodes may include a metal mesh structure. The electrodes may also be truncated at the apex, and alternatively connected to a power supply and ground. The electrodes may further be stacked in a manner such that at least one electrode is at least partially nested within at least another electrode.
