How does demulsifier for crude oil INTRON® dSol works?

Introduction

Demulsifiers are chemical compounds that are used to separate oil from water. They are commonly used in the oil and gas industry to separate the oil and water phases in crude oil emulsions. Crude oil emulsions are a mixture of oil, water, and other substances such as salts, solids, and gas. These emulsions are formed when oil and water are mixed together, and they can cause several issues such as increased viscosity, decreased flow rate, corrosion, and damage to equipment. To avoid these issues, demulsifiers are used to break the emulsion and separate the oil and water phases. In this article, we will discuss the properties of a demulsifier product called INTRON dSol.

Properties of INTRON dSol

INTRON dSol is a demulsifier product that is specifically designed to break crude oil emulsions. It is a non-ionic surfactant that has excellent wetting and spreading properties. The product is made from a blend of alkoxylated alcohols and alkoxylated phenols, which are known to have good solubility in crude oil. The product is also free of aromatic compounds and is therefore environmentally friendly.

INTRON dSol has several good properties that make it an effective demulsifier. First, it has a low interfacial tension, which means that it can easily penetrate the oil-water interface and destabilize the emulsion. Second, it has a high HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) value, which means that it has good affinity for both water and oil phases. This property allows the demulsifier to efficiently break the emulsion and separate the oil and water phases. Third, INTRON dSol is thermally stable and can withstand high temperatures without losing its effectiveness. This property makes it suitable for use in oil and gas production facilities where the temperature of the crude oil can be high.

In addition to its good demulsification properties, INTRON dSol has several other advantages. It is compatible with both sweet and sour crude oils, and it can be used in a wide range of salinities. The product is also easy to handle and can be applied in different ways, such as injection or mixing. Moreover, it has a low toxicity level and is safe to handle.

Applications of INTRON dSol

INTRON dSol is commonly used in the oil and gas industry to break crude oil emulsions. It is particularly useful in offshore production facilities where space and weight constraints are important considerations. The product can be used in different stages of the production process, such as in the separators, desalters, and crude oil tanks. It is also suitable for use in pipelines and tanker trucks where crude oil is transported.

INTRON dSol can be used in different types of crude oils, including heavy and light crude oils, and it can be used in different salinities ranging from fresh water to saturated brines. The product is effective in breaking emulsions that are caused by different factors such as mechanical shear, chemical reactions, or microbial growth. It can also be used to treat emulsions that contain other substances such as solids or gas.

The product can be applied in different ways depending on the specific application. For example, in a separator, the demulsifier can be injected into the oil-water stream, where it will mix with the emulsion and break it down. In a crude oil tank, the product can be mixed with the crude oil and left to settle, where the oil and water phases will separate naturally. In a pipeline or tanker truck, the product can be injected into the oil stream to prevent the formation of emulsions during transportation.

Conclusion

Demulsifiers are important chemicals in the oil and gas
