OLKLIN®-WSD-50
DEMULSIFIER FOR SEPARATION OF WATER FROM
RECLAIMED OIL, REFINERY CRUDES, AND SLOPS
Introduction:
The product is a water-soluble demulsifier (WSD) suitable to break the most difficult water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions. Reclaimed oil, refinery crudes, and slops often contain emulsions which have been stabilized by inorganic impurities, viscosity stabilizers, etc. Oil recovered from tank cleaning operations often contains emulsifiers that can make conventional separation processes completely ineffective. OLKLIN-WSD-50 destabilizes the oil-water interface that surrounds each water particle in the emulsion, replaces the emulsifier molecules (if any), and allows the water to coalesce. The process is heat catalyzed at 66°C (150°F). Using this moderate heat speeds the destabilization and, reduces the viscosity of the oil, promoting the rapid separation of the water by gravity or centrifugation.

*Properties mentioned and color shown here are for general idea of the product. Actual product property may vary depending on crude oil characteristics / field trials.
Dewatering and/or desalting of crude refinery feedstocks normally requires only the lowest of dosages. At these low treat rates, OLKLIN-WSD-50 will have no detectable effect on finished products.
Dosage and Feeding:
Because of the diverse nature of oil and waste amenable to treatment with OLKLIN-WSD-50, specific recommendations have to be made on a case-by-case basis. The dosage of OLKLIN-WSD-50 prescribed to break a particular emulsion varies from as little as 25 ppm to 1,000 ppm, at a temperature of 65.5°C (150°F) Finding the most cost-effective dosage, as well as determining the best conditions of temperature, slow mixing, settling time, etc., is best done in the laboratory, using a sample of the actual oil or waste and a sample of OLKLIN-WSD-50. Request your copy of the testing procedure.
After treatment with OLKLIN-WSD-50 to separate oil, the residual water should be treated with suitable Deoiler (OLKLIN-DO series), to remediate the small amount of residual water soluble hydrocarbons, so that the waste water can legally and safely be discharged to the local wastewater collection system or can be used for agricultural irrigation.
