Water-in-oil emulsions separation using an ultrasonic standing wave coalescence chamber.

The offshore extraction of crude oil produces stable water in oil emulsion. To separate this emulsion into oil and water phases, the oil/water interfacial film is commonly destroyed by the addition of chemical demulsifiers. The use of an ultrasonic standing wave force field could be an alternative t...
