Get yourself some cheap 110 volt hot plates and metal five gallon pails. I found you can do two gallons in an hour. Or three gallons in in three hours, four gallons never, too much for the tiny plate.
The water took the seals out of my hydraulic lift arm cylinder. Bet seal replacment on an elevator would cost a fortune.
Heat :-) But seriously, when you are processing crude that has emulsified water in it you install a "heater-Treater" to remove it by heating the emulsified oil-water mix.
Do you mean ISO 24 (22) & ISO 46 or is AWS a brand ?
20 litres is just over 5 mini gallons, which costs about $120 here in Oz, so yours are cheap. I do not count the cheap brands/no name stuff as many of them do not meet standards - they skimp on additive. My employer used to manufacture for one of them and their formulae would NEVER meet even their minimum standard of the range. I always had to add more additive just to meet their minimum standard. My employer has a +/- tolerance of 5% from nominal, some other major brands are +/- 10% and many "el cheapos" are +/- 20% if you are lucky. My blending usually hit "spot on" centre of range, as the formula was designed to do. We once went 11 months without any errors, about 900 batches. An oil 9% below nominal will be on specification for a company with +/- 10% tolerance but would be way off for my employer at 4% below minimum.
The AW is what I should have listed. The products are made by Coast Oil company and I have been using them for many years. Here is their website with the product specs.
The product is sold in many auto stores but I buy it directly from my oil supplier. They all just about double the price of what I am paying for it.
There's some chatter on the net about using A.C. to cause the water molecules to clump together and drop to the bottom of the sump; de-emulsifying much more quickly than it does naturally. I think some smart young engineer could make a ton of money by supplying a continuous water trap for these applications.
