In the process of petroleum production, it generally produces an emulsion, where the emulsion is two liquids which in their natural conditions do not mix with each other, but under certain conditions combine to become a single phase. Oil emulsion in its separation can be done by several methods, namely mechanical, thermal, electrical and chemical processes. In this Final Project research, we wi…
Emulsions are one of the problems that often occur in oil production activities. Emulsions occur during certain conditions. Emulsions in crude oil make crude oil difficult to process and the quality of the oil is not good. Because it causes the water contained in crude oil. In addition, if it is not directly overcome the emulsion can also cause damage to the equipment production facilities. Usu…
Emulsions are divided into water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions which cannot be avoided during the production of crude oil. In this case, the emulsion requires a chemical compound, which is commonly called a demulsifier and reverse demulsifier, in order to separate water and oil in a short time. The demulsifier will reduce the oil content of the oil-in-water emulsion b…
One of the problems that often occur in oil and gas production activities is emulsions, the presence of emulsions in crude oil can cause damage to the production equipment system, for this reason the industry usually performs several treatments, one of which is providing a demulsifier. Tamarind, pineapple and passion fruit have the potential to overcome this emulsion problem because these three…
