Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to formation and breaking of emulsion using low molecular weight amine. A method for transporting a heavy crude oil, includes the steps of mixing a heavy crude oil with water, a low molecular weight amine and salt at a mixing intensity of less than 300 rpm to produce an oil in water emulsion; transporting the oil in water emulsion to a destination; and adding an additional quantity of salt and heat to the oil in water emulsion to break the emulsion and produce a heavy crude oil phase which is at least 90% dehydrated. |
