Demulsification of asphaltene stabilized crude oil emulsions by biodegradable ethylcellulose polymers with varying viscosities
Abstract Efficient demulsifiers for fast demulsification of asphaltene stabilized crude oil emulsions are currently in high demand. In this work, we evaluated the demulsification potential of ethyl cellulose (EC) demulsifiers with varying viscosities—4 cp, 22 cp, and 100 cp, designated as EC-4, EC-2...
