摘要： An elongate, horizontally level, pipe includes a circumferential wall. The pipe flows, within the circumferential wall, process fluid that includes a first fluid and a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid. The first fluid and the second fluid are separated by an interfacial layer. Heating coils are disposed within the pipe. Each heating coil passes through an interior region of the pipe between the circumferential wall at a respective height from a bottom of the pipe. The heating coils generate heat. A controller is connected to the heating coils. The controller triggers at least one of the heating coils that is nearest to a location of the interfacial layer within the interior region to apply heat to the interfacial layer. The heat is sufficient to at least partially demulsify the interfacial layer.
