Nowadays, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion has become an important topic in many industries. Petroleum industry is one of these industries. O/W emulsion produced in crude oil recovery causes problems at different stages in petroleum industry. Produced water can not be injected again into the well, because it contains high concentrations of oil, grease and suspended particles. Recently, membrane technology has been applied in separation of O/W emulsion. One membrane that has been developed special for oil filtration is slotted true surface filter. This research investigated influences of pore size and initial concentration of feed emulsion during oil filtration using slotted pore membrane. From the experiment, oil rejection will be higher if we use membrane with smaller pore size, emulsion with high stability and small trans membrane pressure. Based on the slot width it can be concluded that 33 microns membrane gives better oil rejection than 80 microns membrane. Initial concentrations of challenge emulsion also influence value of flux and oil rejection, which will also influence our decision to choose suitable membrane in relation with hydrophilicity of the membrane. During microfiltration process, there was deformation of oil particle through slot of membrane, which can be analyzed by observing size of oil drops in feed and permeate sides. Keywords: emulsion, microfiltration, slotted pore membraneAbstrakSaat ini penanganan limbah emulsi minyak dalam air menjadi topik penting di berbagai industri. Salah satunya adalah industri perminyakan. Emulsi yang dihasilkan dalam proses penambangan minyak mentah menimbulkan masalah pada beberapa tahapan proses di industri. Air yang mengandung minyak tidak dapat digunakan kembali untuk meningkatkan perolehan minyak karena mengandung minyak, lemak dan partikel tersuspensi dalam konsentrasi tinggi. Sehingga dibutuhkan proses pemisahan emulsi minyak dalam air. Akhir–akhir ini teknologi membran telah digunakan untuk memisahkan emulsi tersebut. Salah satu membrane yang dikembangkan adalah membrane berslot seperti yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini telah berupaya mengamati pengaruh variasi ukuran pori dan konsentrasi umpan terhadap performa membrane berslot dalam memisahkan emulsi minyak dalam air. Dari percobaan, diperoleh hasil bahwa rejeksi membran terhadap minyak meningkat jika digunakan membrane dengan ukuran ori lebih kecil, emulsi dengan kestabilan yang tinggi, dan beda tekanan yang kecil. Disimpulkan bahwa membrane dengan ukuran pori 33 mikrometer memberikan rejeksi membrane lebih tinggi dibandingkan membrane dengan ukuran pori 80 mikrometer. Konsentrasi awal umpan mempengaruhi fluks dan rejeksi serta mempengaruhi pilihan kita dalam memilih jenis membran yang digunakan. Selama proses filtrasi, terjadi perubahan bentuk atau deformasi partikel minyak melewati slot atau pori membrane yang diamati melalui distribusi ukuran partikel.Kata kunci: emulsi, mikrofiltrasi, membran berslot

Oil In Water Emulsion

Nowadays, oil–in–water emulsion has become an important topic in petroleum industry, which produces oil–inwater emulsion in the recovery of crude oil. Oil–in–water emulsion produced in crude oil recovery causes problems at different stages of the production in the petroleum industry. Recently, microfiltration has been applied in the separation of oil from water. In filtration of oil–in–water emulsion, there is the possibility of oil drops deforming and squeezing through the slot of membrane so the separation efficiency will decrease. This research has studied cross flow filtration of oil–in–water emulsion in a rotating system and also visualized the interaction of oil drops and slot shaped membrane pores. The drop or bubble–slot experiment used a slot with different width. It has been found that the squeezing of an oil drop in the slot is really determined by the pressure applied and velocity of the surrounding fluid. Cross flow microfiltration experiment was conducted using tubular slotted pore membrane with rotation to generate shear on the surface of membrane. Kerosene and crude oil were tested using 5.3 and 7.5 microns membrane at different rotation speed and permeate velocity. Experimental results indicated that in a no blocking condition, the movement of oil drops was determined by shear force and permeate drag force. While in blocking condition, the rejection of oil drops was determined by the formation and characteristic of the secondary membrane formed on the surface of membrane. Blocking will improve the filtration performance in relation to oil rejection, but it will increase the pressure needed or decrease the flux rate through the membrane.

Oil In Water Emulsion

Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion has been a major concern for the petroleum industry. A cost-effective magnetite-reduced graphene oxide (MRGO) nanocomposite was synthesized to study the demulsification process of emulsion using said nanocomposite under solar illumination. Characterization data show that the magnetite was successfully deposited on reduced graphene oxide through redox reaction at varying loading amounts of magnetite. Demulsification of the O/W emulsion using MRGO nanocomposite shows that in general the demulsification efficiency was dependent on the loading amount of Fe3O4 on the RGO sheet. It was proposed that the surfactant hydroxyl groups have an affinity towards Fe3O4, which the loading amount was directly proportionate to available active site in Fe3O4. As the loading amount increases, charge recombination centers on the RGO sheet would increase, effectively affecting the charge distribution within MRGO structure.
