An Overview of Recent Advances in State-of-the-Art Techniques in the Demulsification of Crude Oil Emulsions
The processing of crude oil often requires the extraction of a large amount of water. Frequently, crude oil is mixed with water to form water-in-crude oil emulsions as the result of factors such as high shear at the production wellhead and surface-active substances that are naturally present in crud...
