Water-in-Oil Emulsions Separation Using a Controlled Multi-Frequency Acoustic Field at an Operating Facility

Separation of water-in-oil emulsion is a significant part the cost oil production due to use expensive demulsifiers and additional heating by burning associated petroleum gas. The article discusses an acoustic method that enables increasing rate separation emulsion. In field conditions, tests were carried out in which efficiency was determined depending on temperature product, concentration demulsifier, frequency time exposure emitter. results obtained allow us talk about reduction consumption demulsifiers, decrease influence phase process increase treatment at existing facilities.
