Demulsification of Water-in-Crude Oil Emulsion via Conventional Heating and Microwave Heating Technology in their Optimum Conditions

A serious problem during the production and refinery process of crude oil is the existence of emulsified water in the crude oil. From the economic and environmental points of view, water must be removed from the crude oil before going for further processing. In the last two decades, several demul...
