The continuing need for in situ measurements of the emulsion layer between crude oil and
water within oil field tanks has initiated experimental and theoretical investigations of …

In the oil industry, many applications require the measurement of more than one liquid level
interface, often in challenging, environments. In this paper, an ultrasonic technique has been …

An emulsion layer is a mixture of two or more liquids in which one of them-the dispersed
phase, is present as droplets of microscopic size, distributed throughout the other, called …

In the oil industry, many applications require the measurement of more than one liquid level
interface, often in challenging environments. In this paper, a new ultrasonic-based technique …

Ultrasonic based techniques have been explored to monitor emulsion layer and separation
of oil and water phases from their emulsions. Creation of oil and water emulsions is a …

The extraction process of crude oil requires addition of water, resulting in complex
emulsions, in which the phases must be separated before the petrochemical processing …

Discharges of oily water are common among a number of commercial operations. If
unregulated these effluents can lead to both short and long term adverse environmental …

This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the suitability of thick-film ultrasonic
transducers for composition measurements in heterogeneous mixtures. Following on from …

A nondestructive method of measuring in situ the oil-water interface in a sunken oil barge is
described. The method makes use of the different acoustic absorption properties of water …

Methods for the simultaneous measurement of the levels of light and heavy liquid phases in
a tank by using electroacoustic transducers, temperature sensors, and hydrostatic pressure …
