OPTIMIZATION OF PHENOLIC BASED DE-EMULSIFIERS
The de-emulsification of a Nigerian crude oil emulsion has been investigated using locally formulated, base and acid catalyzed phenol formaldehyde resins with varied formaldehyde to phenol molar ratios. The bottle test method was used for the screening process and the best de-emulsifier was chosen based on the largest volume of water removed from the crude oil emulsion. The screening process...
