experimental breaking of water/oil emulsions aimed at development of a water separation bacterial process in oil industries
نویسندگان
چکیده
microbial demulsifiers represent a potentially important product for the petroleum industry due to their specific modes of action, relative ease of preparation, biodegradability and low toxicity. an extracellular demulsifier, capable of the rapid break up of model multiple water-crude oil emulsions was obtained from the bacterial isolate ochrobactrum anthropi ripi5-1. demulsifying activity of the cell-free culture filtrate was not age dependent. the time course of demulsification by the whole culture and cell-free culture filtrate showed a similar pattern; the rate of demulsification was 5.21 h-1 and the emulsion half-life time (t1/2) was 5 h. the potential activity of the filtrate was also examined using a complex oilfield emulsion; demulsifying activity (dei16) was calculated as 42%. demulsifying activity of whole culture, cell-free culture filtrate and whole cells of strain ripi5-1 was found to be associated with both the cell surface and extracellularly. fractionation of the filtrate showed that demulsifying activity was a function of several compounds. the presence of various active demulsifying compounds may explain the ability of the filtrate to break up various crude oil emulsions and therefore represents a promising new technology.

It is well known that colloids can show phase transitions similar to the ones observed in molecular systems. Colloid-diluted and colloid-concentrated phases can coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium at certain conditions. In a previous work, the authors of this research have used this concept to study petroleum emulsions stability, applying thermodynamic perturbation theories to calculate a phas...

Optimization of Demulsifier Formulation for Separation of Water from Crude Oil Emulsions
In this study, various water-soluble and oil-soluble demulsifiers were selected for separation of water from crude oil emulsions and their productivity measured using the Bottle-test method at 70 °C and 10 ppm concentration. The best ones among 23 demulsifiers examined through the screening process were fatty alcohol ethoxylate, triethanol amine and urea from the water-soluble group and Basoror...
