Question

what is salty crude​

Answer 1

Answer:

A desalter is a process unit in an oil refinery that removes salt from the crude oil. The salt is dissolved in the water in the crude oil, not in the crude oil itself. The desalting is usually the first process in crude oil refining.

Answer 2

Answer:

Crude oil often contains salts that can result in corrosion when processed through a refinery. Salt in crude oil is typically in the form of salt crystals dissolved in the water that is emulsified in the crude oil. The most common salts are chlorides of sodium, calcium, and magnesium.
