SEPARATION SOLUTIONS FOR OIL & WATER EMULSIONS

In the oil & gas industry, emulsion formation is a common challenge that affects over two-thirds of global crude oil production. These water-in-oil emulsions are stabilized by components like asphaltenes, resins, waxes, and naphthenic acids, making separation difficult without the right chemical treatment. To ensure efficient transportation and refining, it is crucial to remove excess water from crude oil and reduce oil content in produced water. Thermax offers a high-performance range of separation chemicals that support both objectives while meeting strict environmental discharge norms.
