· Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils
In all the methods used for crude oil demulsification, including electrodemulsification, surfactants are used to aid the demulsification. Therefore, the present work has been aimed at studying the character and degree of influence of surfactants on the dielectric strength of crude oil. Our experiments were performed with a standard discharger at an AC frequency of 50 Hz. The high-voltage source was a universal breakdown unit of the UPU-1 type.
