DemulsifiersDescribes as the the separation of water from crude oil. As crude oil is produced from a reservoir it tends to become mixed with either natural formation water or mixed formation and injection water. This produced mixture of crude oil and water is termed an oil and water emulsion. It is critical to topsides process operations that the crude oil is efficiently and quickly separated from the water to allow dry oil to be exported and clean water to be discharged within consent, thus maximizing crude oil value and minimizing operating costs
Some factors which affect the breaking of crude oil emulsions:
ATC offers breaking emulsion products ranging from those occuring in cruide oils to those formed in water effluents. ATC demulsifier products are well proven separation of solids from acqueous solutions in the waste waters. ATC's emulsion breaker will achieved the following:
