Demulsifiers

Enhancing Efficient Phase Separation to Sustain Crude Oil Production

Ensuring uninterrupted crude oil gathering and shipment to mid-stream
facilities requires effectively separating water and solids. These impurities,
often stabilized by naturally occurring surfactants and crude oil components
like paraffins and asphaltenes, can hinder the separation process. Despite
the density differences and the application of heat, impurities may not
separate quickly enough, disrupting crude oil production processes. This
is where Stepan’s PETROSTEP® Demulsifier Bases come into play.
