Preliminary Study on the Utilization of Coconut Oil, Lemon, Cassava Starch, Calcium Hydroxide, and Liquid Soap as Demulsifier for Oil in the Field in Riau

EasyChair Preprint 7532

Abstract

 Emulsions in crude oil are very common in the petroleum industry. Compounds that serve as emulsion breakers are commonly called demulsifiers. This test is done by inserting a petroleum emulsion that has been interpreted into a bottle, then placed in a water bath for 3 hours at variations in temperature 50 ˚C, 60 ˚C, and 70 ˚C and demulsifier concentrations of 1 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml to find out the variation in the separation of water and oil in the sample. The results showed that the highest volume of separate water in the demulsifier testing process occurred in DA 1 ml samples at 60 ˚C and 70 ˚C with separate water volumes of 30 ml each. However, based on the separation time DA 1 is still more effective than demulsifier DK 1, where DA 1 takes a faster time to reach the maximum separate water volume of 60 minutes of testing. Meanwhile, DK 1 takes 120 minutes to achieve maximum demulsification results.
