Demulsifiers, or demulsifying agents, are vital in oil spill cleanup efforts due to their ability to separate oil from water. Here’s a summary of their key applications:
Breaking Oil-Water Emulsions: Demulsifiers destabilize emulsified oil in water, allowing oil droplets to coalesce and separate, which accelerates cleanup and reduces the spread of the spill.
Improving Recovery Efficiency: By separating oil from water quickly, demulsifiers improve the efficiency of recovery equipment, such as skimmers, and enable faster removal of oil from affected areas.
Reducing Environmental Impact: Effective demulsification minimizes the oil residue in water, reducing the ecological impact on marine life and coastal ecosystems.
Enhancing Disposal and Recycling: Separated oil can be collected and either disposed of properly or recycled, reducing waste and supporting sustainable cleanup practices.
Selecting the right demulsifier depends on spill conditions, emulsion stability, and environmental factors to ensure optimal separation and recovery.
This product is a reverse emulsifier, a composite polymer water treatment agent characterized by numerous positively charged groups along its molecular chain. It is a highly effective cationic polymer. With its powerful reverse emulsification capability, it can significantly lower the interfacial tension of oil-in-water (W/O) or water-in-oil (O/W) emulsions. This process destabilizes the emulsions by neutralizing the repulsive and attractive forces of oils or colloidal particles in wastewater, resulting in the formation of flocs. Through further chemical bridging, it facilitates the separation of oil and water, as well as the removal of harmful impurities in the wastewater, achieving the goals of oil recovery and wastewater purification. The emulsifier is highly effective in breaking water-in-oil emulsions, reducing oil-water separation time, and is water-soluble and effective across a broad pH range.

Add the product directly to the wastewater either in its original form or diluted, then stir and allow it to settle. For optimal results, use in conjunction with PAC and PAM. The ideal pH range for application is 5-12, with pronounced demulsification and flocculation effects around pH=9. The dosing point is typically selected in the rapid mixing tank of the sewage treatment process. The dosage varies depending on the type of wastewater, generally ranging from 50-1000ppm.
