• Sonochemical technique has the best effect for crude oil demulsification/dehydration. • The influence factor for sonochemical demulsification/dehydration is investigated. • Recent progress on ultrasonic demulsification equipment is introduced.…
Most of the oil produced from oil fields is paraffin-contained crude oil. Ultrasonic treatment has been proven to be good method for paraffin inhibition. In this article, it is proved, from the microscopic point of view, that ultrasonic wave can…
Ultrasonic treatment is one of the known methods of influencing the rheological behavior of crude oil. However, control of crude oil viscosity is necessary not only after treatment but also in the long term. Based on experimental studies, a…
