The Experiment of Factors in Influencing the Water-Oil Emulsion Inversion Phase Points

Abstract:

The energy consumption during the transportation can be reduced through avoiding transport the crude oil whose moisture content near the phase inversion point, but now, there are no scholar study the influence of various factors to the inversion phase point systematic. In this experiment ,we use HAAKE Viscotester 550 to study oil rheological and research that how temperature, shear rate, different kinds of viscosity reducer and different amount of it influence the phase inversion point systematically. The result shows that the rise of temperature or the shear rate can push the point forward. Different kinds of viscosity reducers have different effects at different temperatures, the more does the viscosity reducers added, the more forward it push the point, but when the amount of it reaches a certain degree, the phase inversion point not forward any more, so we should predict it through the experiment in advance. This experiment have filled the gaps in current phase inversion point research field.
