Demulsification of crude oil emulsion via electrocoagulation method

Demulsification of crude oil emulsion via electrocoagulation method

During oil production and processing emulsions were formed and seriously cause problem, both in terms of chemicals used and production losses. The traditional methods of breaking crude oil emulsions are disadvantageous from both economic and environmental perspectives. In this paper, the potentials...
