New demulsifiers for petroleum preparation processes
In preparing crude oil for refining, demulsifiers play a large role in improving the quality of petroleum products and conversion to a zero-waste system of water use in refineries (RF) [1,2]. They are widely used in preparation of crudes in refineries and in exhaustive desalting in RF electric desalting units (EDU) [3-6].
