DEMTROL™ High Performance
FPO
A New Standard in Separation Solutions Breaking emulsions is a critical step in the oil production process for meeting production targets, adhering to commercial crude oil specifications and yielding cleaner produced water for discharge or reinjection. Determining the most effective solution to separating emulsions is one of the most difficult projects a service company faces. Customers count on DEMTROL crude oil demulsifier, or emulsion breaker, bases from Dow Oil & Gas to help produce the most cost-effective solutions possible. Refined Performance with the Heaviest Crude Oil DEMTROL demulsifier bases provide excellent performance in resolving a variety of crude oil emulsions and are particularly effective when used in heavy crude formulations. Several important performance targets are achieved when Dow intermediates are incorporated into a demulsifier package: Rapid water drop Quickly reduce water-in-oil to levels of 0.1 to 0.5 percent Clear oil/water interface Provide sharper interface between the two phases for easier separation Good dehydration of crude oil Remove more water to get closer to commercial crude oil specifications High performance in heavy oil Address problems arising from high viscosity High efficiency at low temperature Reduce the expense needed to heat oil Cleaner produced water Reduce oil-in-water levels for easier discharge or reinjection of water
Dow Oil & Gas has a strong track record of supplying a broad range of specialty chemicals to the oilfield, working with our customers to help optimize formulations based on the situation. Our global manufacturing footprint and raw material integration help provide solutions on time, on location.

The relative solubility number (RSN) was determined by titrating water in a solution containing 1 g of DEMTROL demulsifier and 30 ml toluene (2.6 vol%) and ethylene glycol methyl ether (97.4 vol%). RSN is reported as the volume of water needed to make a solution turbid or cloudy.
