Abstract
Frequent desalter upsets in the refineries processing opportunity crude oils are often triggered by a rapid and uncontrollable buildup of the rag layer, a thick water-in-oil emulsion, at the oil-brine interface. This is caused by spontaneous emulsification of brine in oil. This study investigates a unique observation from a spinning drop (SD) tensiometer, revealing the low apparent interfacial tension and rigidity of SD caused by spontaneous emulsification. Fine droplets of brine generated through spontaneous emulsification decorate the SD surface and form a stable, low-energy bilayer. Simulated rag layers using the brines from upset incidences exhibit similar behavior, indicating that spontaneous emulsification is driven by chemical species in brine, which promote osmotic water transport. The rate of rag layer buildup correlates with the rate of spontaneous emulsification, with the temperature coefficient of interfacial tension reduction serving as a sensitive indicator. An imminent upset in the operation can be forecasted by measuring this temperature coefficient, enabling preventive measures.

Abstract
Mechanical oil recovery (i.e., booming and skimming) is the most common tool for oil spill response. The recovered fluid generated from skimming processes may contain a considerable proportion of water (10 % ~ 70 %). As a result of regulatory prohibition on the discharge of contaminated waters at sea, vessels and/or storage barges must make frequent trips to shore for oil-water waste disposal. This practice can be time- consuming thus reduces the overall efficiency and capacity of oil recovery. One potential solution is on-site oil-water separation and disposal of water fraction at sea. However, currently available decanting processes may have limited oil/water separation capabilities, especially in the presence of oil-water emulsion, which is inevitable in mechanical oil recovery. The decanted water may not meet the discharge standards and cause severe ecotoxicological impacts. This paper therefore comprehensively reviews the principles and progress in oil/water separation, demulsification, and on-site treatment technologies, investigates their applicability on decanting at sea, and discusses the ecotoxicity of decanted water in the marine environment. The outputs provide the fundamental and practical knowledge on decanting and help enhance response effectiveness and consequently reducing the environmental impacts of oil spills.

Abstract
AbstractThe complicated nature of crude oil emulsions is part of the major setbacks associated with the postulation of methods for phase separation and demulsification in the oil industry. Despite the increasing efforts in generating efficient and dependable demulsification methods, the majority of emulsions cannot be shattered in reduced times. This review examines the trending techniques of crude oil demulsification in the petroleum industry. Several approaches have been examined to discover the best method of demulsification. Hence, this reports reviewed the past studies on the emulsion, formation of oil emulsions, methods of demulsification, characteristics of demulsifier, mechanism of demulsification, kinetics in demulsification, operating parameters influencing the demulsification processes, the structure of demulsifier, and formulations that are involved in the demulsification. The formulations of crude oil demulsification have been investigated to unveil adequate demulsifiers for crude oil. Therefore, demulsification approaches have several applications due to wider varieties of crude oil, separation equipment, brines, chemical demulsifiers, the method in which demulsifiers is been formulated, and product specifications.

Abstract
A three-phase separator is the first vessel encountered by well fluids. The application of separators has been of great value to the oil and gas industry. In order to generate the gas phase envelope that is applicable to the study of reservoir fluid and the selection of optimum operating conditions of separators, this research utilizes a specified reservoir fluid stream to simulate a three-phase separator executed in Aspen HYSYS. Subsequently, a comparative study of the effects of specified inlet operating conditions on the output of gas and oil streams was carried out. The results show that changing the inlet pressure of the separator from 1000 to 8000 kPa reduces the gas outlet flow from 1213 to 908.6 kg mol/h, while it increases the liquid flow rate from 374 to 838.0 kg mole/h. By changing the temperature of the separator feed stream from 13 to 83 °C, the gas outlet stream was raised from 707.4 to 1111 kg mol/h, while the liquid flow rate dropped from 1037.0 to 646.1 kg mol/h. It was observed that the concentration of the outlet methane product is not affected by changing the flow rate of the feed stream at a specific pressure and temperature. Therefore, the thermodynamic property method is appropriate to simulate the separation of reservoir fluids which was achieved by selecting the Peng–Robinson (PR) model. The operating conditions of the separator were at 8000 kPa and 43 °C, which lies right on the dew point line. This is comparable to similar work on CHEMCAD which was in turn validated by plant data. Thus, the gas flow rate and the oil flow rate were dependent on pressure and temperature conditions of the plant.

Abstract
Surfactants are often used to stabilize aqueous dispersions. For example, surfactants can be used to prevent hydrate particles from forming large plugs that can clog, and sometimes rupture pipelines. Changes in oil composition, however dramatically affect the performance of said surfactants. In this work we demonstrate that aromatic compounds, dissolved in the hydrocarbon phase, can have both synergistic and antagonistic effects, depending on their molecular structure, with respect to surfactants developed to prevent hydrate agglomerations. While monocyclic aromatics such as benzene were found to disrupt the structure of surfactant films at low surfactant density, they are expelled from the interfacial film at high surfactant density. On the other hand, polycyclic aromatics, in particular pyrene, are found to induce order and stabilize the surfactant films both at low and high surfactant density. Based on our simulation results, polycyclic aromatics could behave as natural anti-agglomerants and enhance the performance of the specific surfactants considered here, while monocyclic aromatics could, in some cases, negatively affect performance. Although limited to the conditions chosen for the present simulations, the results, explained in terms of molecular features, could be valuable for better understanding synergistic and antagonistic effects relevant for stabilizing aqueous dispersions used in diverse applications, ranging from foodstuff to processing of nanomaterials and advanced manufacturing.

Abstract
The processing of crude oil often requires the extraction of a large amount of water. Frequently, crude oil is mixed with water to form water-in-crude oil emulsions as the result of factors such as high shear at the production wellhead and surface-active substances that are naturally present in crude oil. These emulsions are undesirable and require demulsification to remove the dispersed water and associated inorganic salts in order to meet production and transportation specifications. Additionally, the demulsification of these crude oil emulsions mitigates corrosion and catalyst poisoning and invariably maximizes the overall profitability of crude oil production. Recently, there has been growing research interest in developing workable solutions to the difficulties associated with transporting and refining crude oil emulsions and the restrictions on produced water discharge. Therefore, this paper reviews the recent research efforts on state-of-the-art demulsification techniques. First, an overview of crude oil emulsion types, formation, and stability is presented. Then, the parameters and mechanisms of emulsification formation and different demulsification techniques are extensively examined. It is worth noting that the efficiency of each of these techniques is dependent on the operating parameters and their interplay. Moreover, a more effective demulsification process could be attained by leveraging synergistic effects by combining one or more of these techniques. Finally, this literature review then culminates with propositions for future research. Therefore, the findings of this study can help for a better understanding of the formation and mechanisms of the various demulsification methods of crude oil to work on the development of green demulsifiers by different sources.

Abstract
Emulsified pickling waste liquid, derived from cleaning oily hardware, cause serious environmental and ecological issues. In this work, a series of grafted (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) TiO2 pillared montmorillonite (Mt), Ti-Mt-APTES, are prepared and characterized for their assessment in demulsification of acidic oil-in-water emulsion. After titanium hydrate is introduced through ion exchange, montmorillonite is modified by hydrophobic groups coming from APTES. The Ti-Mt-APTES in acidic oil-in-water emulsion demulsification performance and mechanism are studied. Results show that the prepared Ti-Mt-APTES has favorable demulsification performance. The Ti-Mt-APTES demulsification efficiency (ED) increased to an upper limit value when the mass ratio of APTES to the prepared TiO2 pillared montmorillonite (Ti-Mt) (RA/M) was 0.10 g/g, and the 5 h is the optimal continuous stirring time for breaking the acidic oil-in-water emulsion by Ti-Mt-APTES. The ED increased to 94.8% when 2.5 g/L of Ti-Mt-APTES is added into the acidic oil-in-water emulsion after 5 h. An examination of the demulsification mechanism revealed that amphiphilicity and electrostatic interaction both played vital roles in oil-in-water separation. It is demonstrated that Ti-Mt-APTES is a promising, economical demulsifier for the efficient treatment of acidic oil-in-water emulsions.

Abstract
Oily wastewater from the oil and gas industry negatively affects the environment. Oily wastewater typically exists in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. Conventional methods to treat oily wastewater have low separation efficiency and long separation time and use large equipment. Therefore, a simple but effective method must be developed to separate oil-in-water emulsions with high separation efficiency and short separation times. Magnetite–reduced graphene oxide (M–RGO) nanocomposites were used as a demulsifier in this work. Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were coated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets via an in situ chemical synthesis method. The synthesized M–RGO nanocomposites are environmentally friendly and can be recovered after demulsification by an external magnetic field. M–RGO characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. Demulsification performance was evaluated in terms of M–RGO dosage, effects of pH, and brine concentration. The demulsification capability of M–RGO was determined based on the residual oil content of the emulsion, which was measured with a UV-vis spectrometer. The response surface method was used to determine the optimum conditions of the input variables. The optimum demulsification efficiency achieved at pH 4 and M–RGO dosage of 29 g L−1 was approximately 96%. This finding demonstrates that M–RGO nanocomposites are potential magnetic demulsifiers for oily wastewater that contains oil-in-water emulsions. Also, the recyclability of this nanocomposite has been tested and the results shown that it is a good recyclable demulsifier. Magnetite reduced graphene oxide were synthesized for separation of crude oil in water emulsion.![]()
