Mechanisms, performance optimization and new developments in demulsification processes for oil and gas applications
Abstract
The present review discusses new developments and optimization of demulsification processes in oil and gas applications, and highlights the critical parameters. Discussed are the primary mechanisms of demulsification, as well as the strategies for developing optimum demulsifiers. Demulsification mechanisms are presented in the context of emulsion stability principles which are equally applicable to the destabilization of crude oil-water emulsions. The present paper is a concise overview of the various surfactant classes and their structure-activity relationship. It correlates demulsification optimization with surfactant properties and their applications. These classes include, but are not limited to pluronic block co-polymers, as well as amine- and siloxane based nonionic surfactants. The emphasis is on providing some strategies for achieving optimum crude oil-water separation efficiency by tuning the demulsifier to the intended application and crude oil properties. A brief overview of unconventional analytical techniques, which reach beyond the standard demulsifier evaluation methods, i.e., Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR), and in particular, low resolution NMR relaxometry, highlights their role in monitoring demulsification processes.

“A demulsifier with an RSN value < 13 is considered insoluble in water or hydrophobic, while 13 <RSN>17 is dispersible at low concentrations, and demulsifiers with an RSN > 17 are soluble in water or hydrophilic (Grenoble and Trabelsi, 2018).”

“Relative solubility number (RSN) is an empirically determined value that characterizes water solubility and the hydrophobic-hydrophilic character of a surfactant.”
From Demulsifier Selection Guideline for Destabilizing Water-in-Oil Emulsion for both non-EOR and EOR Application (2023) · cites this paper as Grenoble and Trabelsi, 2018
In the citing paper
“Both references support the result that a lower RSN (less water soluble) demulsifier works better than a demulsifier with high RSN in resolving the emulsion for a crude oil with high asphaltene content.”
From Demulsifier Selection Guideline for Destabilizing Water-in-Oil Emulsion for both non-EOR and EOR Application (2023) · cites this paper as Grenoble and Trabelsi, 2018
In the citing paper
“Grenoble and Trabelsi, (2018) also supported this theory and mentioned that asphaltenes, which have a more lipophilic character, require a more hydrophilic demulsifier (oil soluble or less water soluble demulsifier) to shift the hydrophilic lipophilic deviation (HLD) towards zero.”
From Demulsifier Selection Guideline for Destabilizing Water-in-Oil Emulsion for both non-EOR and EOR Application (2023) · cites this paper as Grenoble and Trabelsi, 2018
In the citing paper
“Grenoble and Trabelsi agreed on the relationship of HLB with demulsifier performance by mentioning that the initial selection of the most suitable surfactant or surfactant combination based on the intrinsic HLB may be a valid starting point but should not be limiting for fine-tuning the system (Grenoble and Trabelsi, 2018).”

“Grenoble and Trabelsi, (2018) also supported this theory and mentioned that asphaltenes, which have a more lipo-philic character, require a more hydrophilic demulsifier (oil soluble or less water soluble demulsifier) to shift the hydrophilic lipophilic deviation (HLD) towards zero.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
