Cleaning operations are performed regularly throughout the food industry. This review
focuses on the removal of strongly adherent fouling deposits which compromise the …

This study investigates the effects of asphaltene, resin and petroleum acid on the phase
inversion, stability and oil–water interface characteristics of emulsions. First, different ratios …

The formation of gas hydrate plugs in deep water oil and gas flowlines poses severe
operational and safety hazards. Previous work has established a mechanism able to …

The effect of salinity on water-in-oil emulsions was systematically studied using a
combination of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pulsed field gradient (PFG) …

Interaction between surface active components in crude oils and nonionic surfactants plays
an important role in phase inversion behavior of crude oil emulsion, while the interaction …

Gas hydrates are ice-like solids that may form in crude oil flowlines under high pressure and
at low temperature, resulting in the formation of viscous hydrate-laden oil slurries. The …

The catastrophic phase inversion process of model emulsions (water/Span 80-Tween
80/heptane) from oil-in-water to water-in-oil emulsion was investigated. During this process …

In this research, graphene oxide (GO) is used to prepare stable Pickering emulsions in
chemical flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The effects of GO concentration (0–7 …

Benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pulsed field gradient (PFG) and relaxation
measurements were used to monitor the clathrate hydrate shell growth occurring in water …

We present a novel multiphase flow metering technique for simultaneous measurement of
oil and water volumetric flowrates. An Earth's field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) …
