Abstract: The influence of ozonization on the composition and flotation properties of petroleum and petroleum distillate fractions is considered. Preliminary ozonization is found to promote the formation of apolar hydrocarbon collectors of various…
In hydrocarbon production and processing, choke and control valves mix and emulsify petroleum phases. The consequence is often that the efficiency of separation processes is affected and finally that the quality of oil and water phases is degraded.…
Following previous studies, the aim of this work is to further investigate the application of colloidal gas aphrons (CGA) to the recovery of polyphenols from a grape marc ethanolic extract with particular focus on exploring the use of a non-ionic…
It has been established that the separation of gas inclusions in crude oil before supplying to the oil pipeline is actual. The process of oil separation based on the magnetohydrodynamic effect should include not only an increase in pressure, but also…
The objective of this study is to demonstrate oil-sand separation in the injection of positively charged nanobubbles (NBs) with respect to the effects of the NB/oil-sand ratio, treatment time, and NB injection regimes. Utilizing total petroleum…
Separation technologies in natural gas processing cover a wide variety of methods used to separate liquids from liquids, liquids from gases, and three-phase separators (gas, aqueous liquids, and hydrocarbon liquids). In this chapter we cover details…

The wettability is a critical property that governs the in situ fluid distribution, fractional flow, and hydrocarbon trapping in the porous media. This topic is of immense interest to the petroleum industry for the exploitation of unconventional…
