THE STUDY OF THE COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES OF WATER-OIL EMULSIONS FORMED FROM LOCAL OILS AND METHODS FOR THEIR DESTRUCTION

Abstract

The continuous increase in oil production and refining around the world requires the improvement and intensification of the processes of dehydration and desalting through the use of non-traditional methods of external influence, incl. electrophysical. This is dictated by the fact that in recent years oil-water emulsions with high stability, which are difficult to destroy even at the high costs of expensive imported demulsifiers, have often been supplied to oil treatment plants (OTPs).
