Summit Oilfield Fluids & Chemicals
Master Emulsion Breaker
MEB-650 & MEB-695 — Demulsifier
Product Information
The Master Emulsion Breaker Series of demulsifiers are tailor-made, oil-based blends of surfactants and carrier solvents designed to separate the most difficult water-in-oil emulsions encountered in the oilfield or refinery. The MEB Series is formulated to react quickly at both ambient and elevated temperatures and over a broad range of emulsion chemistries. The result is on-spec oil and clarified water with little to no unresolved emulsion (rag).
Product Application
Oilfield emulsions are formed when oil, water, and/or particulate material are dispersed and stabilized by naturally-occurring emulsifiers, added treatment chemicals, and/or fluid shear caused by high fluid velocities. Separation of these emulsions into clean oil, clean water, and water-wet solids requires a three step process: destabilization, coalescence, and sedimentation.
Demulsifiers, also known as emulsion breakers, are responsible for destabilizing the emulsions. The resulting coalescence and sedimentation occur naturally, but can be enhanced with such applications as heat, centrifugation, and long detention times. It is more economical to utilize a high performance demulsifier that minimizes the need for heat and centrifugation.
Advantages
- Fast, effective separation — at ambient or elevated temperatures
- Greater revenue — higher oil quality
- Reduced expenses — lower chemical cost, lower chemical usage, reduced waste generation, cleaner by-products, reduced energy consumption, reduced equipment costs
- Compliance — meets both water quality standards for regulatory compliance and oil quality specifications
