DEMULSIFIER COMPOUND

The quality of this compound depends on the type of the emulsion present in oil. There fore, each type of oil requires a specific demulsifier compound which is determined through laboratory tests. The best demulsifier compounds are those capable of removing the largest amount of water from oil and retaining the least possible amount of salt in the oil. The demulsification speed, the transparency of the resulting water, the clarity of water – oil interface, and the amount of remaining emulsion are among the factors determine the quality of this compound. The best demulsifier compounds in oil industries include oil-soluble non-ionic polymer surfactants. These compounds often include ethylene and propylene copolymer blocks.
