RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES APPLICATION OF SELECTION DEMULSIFIERS

 

Oil slime (sample ¹6) was heated in a bath at 70 ° C in a conical glass flask of 100 ml during 30-40 min. by periodic hand mixing. Average sample of slime is dispensed into glass-graded sediment tube of 50 ml. One of the samples is considered to be as a test sample (it is not dosed a reagent). The other are dosed the following reagents:

- sediment tube ¹2 - Daufaks BB - dosage of 1000 g / t;

- sediment tube ¹3 - Hercules 1017 – dosage of 1000 g / t;

Reagents were selected by HF dielkometric method (pp. 2.6.).

Then, every sediment tubes are hand mixed during 1 min., and their contents are transferred to the centrifuge tubes.

Experiments were conducted in two series: in the first series before centrifugation all samples were treated in a microwave oven (operating frequency is 2.4 MHz, power 800 W, during 1 min.). Field processing time is chosen so that the sample is not boiled up in order to avoid the negative effect of SHF field. After the SHF of EMF (electromagnetic field) treatment, the tubes were centrifuged at 3000 rev / min during 10 minutes. In the second series, the tubes were centrifuged without field processing.

Because of centrifugation in the tubes, there are formed three coating: oil, sediment (mechanical impurities), water. Thereafter the oil and water are carefully transferred into corresponding separator funnels. To maintain the temperature of the treated product and a better separation of the water the separator funnels are placed in a water bath (at 80° C) for 10-15 min.. Settled water is drained. In the oil water content is determined (GOST 2477-65, Dean and Stark method) and mechanical impurities (GOST 6370-83).

The scheme and the experimental results are presented in Figure 1 and Table 1. From the presented results it is shown that the maximum efficiency was achieved by SHF treatment of oil slime with the addition of the reagent "Hercules 1017" (1000 g / t) with the following separation in centrifugation (3000 rev / min).

It should be noted that the results for the two studied demulsifiers are not very different from each other (Table 1), so demulsifiers "Daufaks DF" can also be recommended as an enough effective demulsifiers

When oil slime treating by SHF of EMF without adding the reagent, the water content in treated products was 9.5%.

Further work was carried out to study the optimal dosage of reagents "Hercules 1017" and "Daufax DF", as well as the selection of the initial temperature of the oil slime treatment. Results of the studies are presented in Figures 2 and 3.

Figure 3 - The dependence of the water content in processed products, depending on the dosage of the reagent "Daufax DF" with different initial temperature of the oil slime treatment.

 

According to the results, it can be argued that the optimal dosage of reagents is 300 g / t, and the temperature of the initial treatment can be recommended 60° C
