Investigation of the Influence of Physico-Chemical Parameters of the Components of the Crude Oil Dewatering Process

Abstract

In this work, samples of demulsifiers and their separation ability in relation to the crude oil of the Vankor field are studied. It was found out that when water is separated, there are differences in residual water content, which are determined by the physico-chemical properties of oils. Evaluating the effectiveness of the four studieddemulsifiers, it can be distinguished as the most effective DIN-8E and DECLEAVE, followed by a recommendation for further work. The results of the research will increase the service life of the equipment, reduce corrosion wear and lower the pour point of oil by reducing its watering.
