Effects of sand and process water pH on toluene diluted heavy oil in water emulsions in turbulent flow

The presence of sand in heavy oil production is known to enhance oil recovery. Sand can also be detrimental depending on the properties of the sand-water interface. In this process, the water soluble material interacts with both sand and oil droplets and affects emulsion stability. The formation and...
