Two examples of commercial emulsion-breaking products supplied by one chemical company are provided in Table I. Product 1 in Table I was found to be applicable in some paraffinic crude oils of medium to high API gravity. Product 2 was found to be applicable in some heavy asphaltic crude oils with significant amounts of inorganic solids present. [Pg.329]

For most commercial emulsion-breaking applications, chemical compa-... [Pg.329]

Regardless of the test method used to select chemicals, the true capabilities of the treating chemicals must be determined by commercial application in the treating system of concern. All test work in chemical selection is merely a method of reducing the risk of failure an oil treater is subjected to when changing emulsion-breaking chemicals or testing a new facility. [Pg.336]
