Description
A research team reports a new nonionic demulsifier that separates crude oil from water at room and moderate temperatures, in a 2024 study. The compound is built by joining a glycolic acid ethoxylate ether with an amine, and it was tested across doses from 100 to 700 parts per million at 25 and 60 degrees.
At the best dose of 500 parts per million, separation reached ninety-five percent at room temperature and ninety-nine percent when warmed. The additive thinned the emulsion, weakened its elastic film, and displaced the natural asphaltenes that stabilize the mixture, while surface tension fell sharply. The authors expect the low-energy performance to interest oilfield and petrochemical operators.
