The phenomenon of phase inversion occurs in liquid‐liquid dispersions found in a variety of
chemical engineering fields. From simple oil‐water mixtures to complex polymeric systems …

Discharged water from the oil and gas fields is a common type of wastewater called
produced water (PW). It consists of different combinations of salinities, oils, and mineral …

Gravity separation of oil-water emulsions is an industrially crucial process. Mechanistic
models for a batch separation process can immensely be beneficial by linking emulsion …

The multi-fluid Eulerian multiphase model coupled with the inhomogeneous population
balance model is applied to predict the gas, oil, and water separation behavior and …

The separation of liquid–liquid dispersions in horizontal pipes is common in many industrial
sectors. It remains challenging, however, to predict the separation characteristics of the flow …

Oily wastewater needs to be effectively treated to minimize the hazardousness to the
environment. Flotation is an excellent pre-treatment technology for low-content oily …

Emulsions are a type of metastable colloid composed of two or more immiscible liquids.
These systems are widely used in a variety of applications, such as cosmetics, drug delivery …

The internal flow behavior of an ESP handling dispersed oil-water and emulsion flows
remains quite unexplored. Previous studies have focused either on the individual droplet …

This work combines experimental and modeling investigations to monitor the dynamics of
creaming in oil-in-water emulsions. Turbidity and Raman spectroscopy methods were …

Huge amounts of produced water are generated in offshore oil production. The Compact
Flotation Unit (CFU) is an excellent pretreatment technology of produced water with high …
