System and Method to Decrease the Viscosity of the Crude Oil and the Potentiation of Dehydration

Abstract

A method and system for reducing viscosity in the crude oil and the empowerment of its dehydration process pass crude oil over a core that ionizes-polarizes the crude oil with an electrostatic charge. The metal bar core made of an alloy which includes, a weight of, 40-70% copper, 10-32% nickel, 15-40% zinc, 2-20% tin, and 0.05-10% silver. The metal bar core comprises a plurality of grooves, which allows crude oil to be agitated as it comes in contact with the core, activating an electrostatic charge. The electrostatic charge of the core creates a magnetic catalytic reaction that causes: (1) a molecular separation in the molecular chains within crude oil thereby lowering the viscosity and (2) stretches and twists caused by the molecular ionization-polarization of crude oil, causes that this release accordingly congenital or added water that is trapped in it, resulting in a potentiation of the dehydration of crude oil.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system to maintain crude oil in a liquid state and potentiate its dehydration, comprising: 
       exposing crude oil to a core that ionizes-polarizes the crude oil with an electrostatic charge; 
       wherein the core consists of a metal bar made of an alloy comprising, by weight, 40-70% copper, 10-32% nickel, 15-40% zinc, 2-20% tin, and 0.05-10% silver;
 wherein the metal bar of the core comprises a plurality of cuts having a concave shape and arranged diagonally an entire surface of an upper and lower face of the metal bar of the core to create grooves, which allows the crude oil to be agitated as it comes in contact with the core, activating the electrostatic charge. 
 wherein the core is within a casing having an inlet and an outlet at its ends for receiving and unload crude oil which is to be treated; and 
 wherein the crude oil coming from the casing from a casing, has a lowered viscosity so crude oil remains in a liquid state at temperatures by whose lower limit part of the 0° C.; and 
 
       wherein the crude oil coming from the casing presents an ionization-polarization or electrostatic charge that produces stretching and torsion molecular, inducing the elimination of congenital and added water within the molecular bonds of crude oil, which potentiates the dehydration. 
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the core is disposed on a crude oil supply line.
