dc.description.abstract The project regarding the solution of the two major concerns of the upstream oil refineries. One is the formation of the water in oil emulsions at the well head of the oil extraction. The water containing the salt concentration is needed to be removed from the crude oil. The presence of BS&W (Basic Sediments and water) in the crude oil must be within the contractual agreement. Usual range of BS&W in crude varies in the range of 0.2-3 %. Generally, the chemical demulsification technique is used by different oil refineries but the lack of efficiency of the system due to the variation in the supply of the surfactant is the point of concern for the most of the industries as they are lacking the system that can inject the stoichiometric amount of the de emulsifier in the system by taking into account the variation in the concentration of the emulsifier in the feed at well head. The second major problem is that of the precipitation of the asphaltene which is the most heavy class of the compound present in the crude with the average molecular mass of around 700 kg/kmol. The precipitation of asphaltene which is also known as asphalting is highly undesirable as it further cause disturbance in the running plants. Enhanced pressure drop and poor heat transfer of different equipment due to the asphalting is inevitable. The project was much more focused on the chemical solution of the former and the physical solution of the later problem en_US
