Produced-water deoiling
Deoiler selection for removing dispersed and emulsified oil from produced water.
How it is used
Deoilers support the separation of oil from the water phase. Their function differs from crude-oil demulsifiers, which remove water from oil. Selection should reflect oil-in-water levels, solids, water chemistry and the installed separation equipment.
Application areas
- Produced-water treatment
- Water separated from oilfield production fluids
- Oil-removal stages ahead of further water treatment
Formulation considerations
Cationic-polyamine systems are one approach to produced-water deoiling. Confirm compatibility and the proposed grade for the application.
What we need to select a grade
- Water sample and oil-in-water concentration
- Suspended solids, salinity and pH
- Separation equipment, residence time and discharge or reuse target
Product data and handling
Request the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the proposed grade. Confirm dosage, compatibility, handling and supply requirements before use.
