Claims12
A formulation for oil separation and recovery from oil waste resulting from oil production, comprising a mixture of linear sulfonic acid, nonyl phenol, butyl glycol, kerosene, and dimethylbenzene, wherein the mixture is designed for recovery of crude oil after extraction during an oil production process.
Method for oil separation and recovery from oily waste resulting from oil production, characterized by comprising the following steps:
- provide a load of oily waste derived from oil production;
- add to said oily waste a formulation comprising a mixture of linear sulfonic acid, nonyl phenol, butyl glycol, kerosene, and dimethylbenzene (xylol);
- mixing of said oily waste and the formulation;
- allow separation of a phase containing oil from a phase containing water and sediments;
- and
- recover the phase containing oil.
A formulation for oil separation and recovery from oily waste resulting from oil production, comprising a mixture of linear sulfonic acid, nonyl phenol, butyl glycol, kerosene, dimethylbenzene, and methylene blue dye.
A formulation for oil separation and recovery from oily waste resulting from oil production, comprising a mixture of linear sulfonic acid, nonyl phenol, butyl glycol, kerosene, and dimethylbenzene, having a boiling point of 138 to 144° C. at 1 atmosphere.
