La plupart des pétroles bruts contiennent des chlorures de sodium et de magnésium ainsi que des sulfates et, même lorsqu'ils n’ en contiennent pas à la sortie du gisement, on en trouve à la raffinerie car les citernes du navire transporteur sont généralement polluées par un peu d’eau de mer et de rouille. Ces sels donnent lieu à la production d’acides chlorhydrique et sulfurique pendant la distillation; il faut donc les éliminer avant. 3, record 1, French, - dessalage

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Process water, includes seawater (and occasionally freshwater) and produced water. Seawater is injected into a formation to pressurize the reservoir and force the oil toward the oil production wells. Gelled water is seawater and freshwater that is mixed with a gelling substance to increase the viscosity of the fluid for a number of purposes. Seawater is also used to maintain the existing wells or to detect leaks in pipelines. Produced water is the water mixture consisting of oil, gas, and sand that is pumped from oil production wells. The percentage of crude oil occurring in process water can vary somewhat based on the source of the spill. 3, record 2, English, - process%20water
