Intensification of Destruction Process of Sustained Emulsions Formed In Local Oil Sludge

Abstract

Stable emulsions contained in oil sludge make it difficult to conduct. The physical properties of oil sludge usually vary widely and depend on the oil's own viscosity, temperature, oil-water ratio. Therefore, emulsions being dispersed systems under certain conditions have specific properties i.e. they are non-Newtonian liquids. Heavy oil and oil sludge are diluted with hydrocarbons, more often, gas condensate, which reduces the viscosity, density and other rheological parameters of high-sulfur oil.
