DemulsificationDemulsification is the process by which specialist chemicals are used to separate emulsions in liquids, an example of this the separation of water in oil.
Demulsification also happens during the processing of crude oil where water and salt needs to be removed from the oil prior to it being refined. If
Demulsification does not happen during this process and the salt and water is not removed then this can cause many problems including corrosion which will occur during the refining process.
