The major source of difficulty in oil field operation is the removal of water and associated solids. Water is contained in most of the world’s crude oils in varying proportions.

Economical separation of crude oil from the water requires a combination of retention Time, thermal and sometimes electrical treatment, and a correctly selected emulsion breaker.

The action of demulsifire being strong  surface active agents, is to wet, disperse and displace the natural emulsifire film binding  the oil /water interface, which then permits agglomeration , coalescence and gravity settling of water droplets .

Abdulkarim formulated a full range of demulsifires which are tailored to fit all requirements.
