Performance Assessment of Plant Extracts as Green Demulsifiers

This project is about the demulsifier formulation by using plant extract to produce a green demulsifier. Demulsifier is an oilfield chemical that is used to be injected into Water-in-Oil (W/O) emulsion to be separated into water and oil. Current conventional demulsifiers that available in markets ar...

SR1637 is the industry chemical that currently used, B2 is a blend demusifier that consists of NaOH, E3 extract and other materials like starch, camphor, paraffin wax, liquid soap and distilled water, FE2 is a combination of two best plant extracts which are E2 and E3 and FI1 is the combination between E3 and SR1637. In terms of toxicity level, B2 is the most toxic demulsifier as the pH value is 12 means that it has alkali property and E3 contain the least toxic level as the pH value is 6 that is a neutral demulsifier. From all of these six formulations, E3 extract give the best performances in separation process of W/O emulsion. iv Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS 2014-05 Final Year Project NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://utpedia.utp.edu.my/14350/1/FINAL%20FYP%20REPORT.pdf Abu Bakar, Yaakob (2014) Performance Assessment of Plant Extracts as Green Demulsifiers.
