A B S T R A C T Electric treater system for resolving an emulsion in a vessel with an electric field created by an ener- gized electrode receiving current from an external power source via a feed-through insulator, an electrical conductor and a high voltage bushing within a sidewall of the vessel. A pressure conduit extends between the entrance bushing and the feed-through insulator, and it contains the electrical conductor within a dielectric liquid. A heat sink on the entrance bushing maintains its plastic insulation parts at substantially the tem- perature of the emulsion. System means maintain the dielectric liquid within the pressure conduit at sub- stantially the fluid pressure of the emulsion. Also, a heat exchanger on the pressure conduit maintains the feed-through insulator at substantially the same temp- erature at its pressure conduit and power source term- inals. As a result, the entrance bushing can operate at elevated emulsion temperatures (500°F) but at insig- nificant pressure differential whereas the feed-through insulator can operate at the ambient temperatures (80°F) of the power source but at substantially the fluid pressure of the emulsion (500 psi). Neither the bushing nor feed-through insulator must withstand simultaneously high pressure (500 psi) and high temperature (500°F) conditions. The present electrical treater system oper- ates at elevated temperatures and pressures with the relative safety of low pressure, low temperature conditions.
