Demulsificaton (Breaking) Of Water-In-Crude Oil Emulsion via Microwave Heating Technology

Traditional ways of breaking emulsions using heat and chemicals are disadvantageous from both economic and environmental perspectives. In this research, the potentials of microwave technology in demulsification of water-in-crude oil emulsions were investigated. The study began with some characteriz...
