How do Demulsifier additives break oil/water emulsions?

Water in oil emulsions can play havoc with industrial lubrication systems. Demulsifiers can assist in breaking these emulsions and helping water to separate from the oil. In this video we explain what makes emulsions stable, and how additive chemistries can help to destabilise them.

Very helpful video! Just want to mention that, mayonnaise is actually an oil-in-water emulsion, where oil droplets are dispersed by a continuous water phase. It may seem counterintuitive because there is way more oil than water in mayonnaise.

The video end after 7 min and it was super clear and interesting!

Glad to hear it was clear!

⁠@@LubricationExplained Can you do a show on asphaltenes? Please?

[@jacksonminnear5928]

Fantastic explanation with clear and fast talking! Thanks.

Thank you very much!

What is the best way to chemically Demulsifier water and oil?

[@developmentdesign8374]

Will only adjusting ph to neutral be enough to Demulsifie?

I want to break the stable nanoemulsion to obtain the oil for measuring. But I can not do it. Can you suggest me the useful way to break it.. Please help me

[@elster7290]

Are demulsifiers used in hydraulic systems with no water drain?

Saitama!
