Oil Soluble Demulsifier

Rimpro's oil soluble demulsifier series is a totally organic liquid formulation of surfactants and dispersants, soluble in toluene, xylene, aromatic solvent and crude oil, for the demulsification of water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions. It is capable of performance at room temperature, but with improved speed and percentage of oil removed when applied at temperatures near 60°C (140°F).

RIMPRO crude oil demulsifier destabilizes the oil-water interface that surrounds each water particle in the emulsion, replaces the emulsifier molecules (if any), and allows the water to coalesce.

RIMPRO crude oil demulsifier is a completely combustible, non-abrasive, non-ash-forming treatment, which improves the quality of the fuel it is added to. The effects of crude oil demulsifier in demulsification of water in crude oil emulsions are based on relative rates of water separation, recognized through emulsion breakers.

Because of the diverse nature of oil and waste amenable to treatment with RIMPRO crude oil demulsifier, specific recommendations have to be made on a case-by-case basis. The dosage prescribed to break a particular emulsion varies from as little as 1 gallon per 20,000 gallons (50 ppm) of oil to as much as 1 gallon per 10,000 gallons (100 ppm) of oil. A few clients have even found that 20 ppm was more effective than the higher dosages, so we suggest adding the lower levels to your laboratory bench tests to verify the correct dosage for the specific application.

Finding the most cost-effective dosage, as well as determining the best conditions of temperature, slow mixing, settling time, etc., is best done in the laboratory, using a sample of the actual oil or waste and a sample of RIMPRO crude oil demulsifier.
