DEMRA Series
Whenever two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water contact each other, one liquid tend to disperse but not dissolve in the other, this dispersion of liquid typically in an aqueous medium is an emulsion. The presence of water in crude oil can cause such undesirable consequences as: corrosion, raise conductivity, leaching of additives etc .Methods currently employed in demulsification of crude oil are: heat, electrical, chemical and polymer methods. Emulsion breaking or de-emulsification is the separation of a dispersed liquid from the liquid in which it is suspended.
