Abstract

The complicated nature of crude oil emulsions is part of the major setbacks associated with the postulation of methods for phase separation and demulsification in the oil industry. Despite the increasing efforts in generating efficient and dependable demulsification methods, the majority of emulsions cannot be shattered in reduced times. This review examines the trending techniques of crude oil demulsification in the petroleum industry. Several approaches have been examined to discover the best method of demulsification. Hence, this reports reviewed the past studies on the emulsion, formation of oil emulsions, methods of demulsification, characteristics of demulsifier, mechanism of demulsification, kinetics in demulsification, operating parameters influencing the demulsification processes, the structure of demulsifier, and formulations that are involved in the demulsification. The formulations of crude oil demulsification have been investigated to unveil adequate demulsifiers for crude oil. Therefore, demulsification approaches have several applications due to wider varieties of crude oil, separation equipment, brines, chemical demulsifiers, the method in which demulsifiers is been formulated, and product specifications.

石油工业中原油破乳的发展趋势

原油乳状液的复杂性质是石油工业中相分离和破乳方法的假设所遇到的主要挫折的一部分。尽管越来越多的努力产生高效和可靠的破乳方法，大多数乳剂不能在减少时间破碎。本文综述了石油工业中原油破乳技术的发展趋势。为了找出最好的破乳方法，已经研究了几种方法。因此，本文综述了以往在乳状液、油乳的形成、破乳方法、破乳剂特性、破乳机理、破乳动力学、影响破乳过程的操作参数、破乳剂结构、破乳配方等方面的研究。研究了原油破乳剂的配方，以揭示适合原油的破乳剂。因此，由于原油、分离设备、卤水、化学破乳剂、配制破乳剂的方法和产品规格的多样性，破乳剂方法有多种应用。
