TA009 Oil Water Separation
OverviewAt every stage of oil processing from production through transportation and refining, oil water separation is an important phenomenon. Indeed water content and water separatability are quality parameters of finished refinery products. This session seeks papers on the theory and application of mechanical and chemical aspects of oil water separation.
