Over the last few years, the production of crude oil increased ten folds. Crude oil production can never be produced solely without water and contaminants. During its production, crude oil is often mixed with water and form water-in-oil emulsions or oil-in-water emulsions. Sometimes the hybrid of it on account of factors such as surface-active substances (asphalt, lubricating oils, and waxes, among others) that are naturally present in crude oil and high force by which the oil is lifted. These emulsions are one of the major problems that producers, transporters, and refineries of crude oil face. This is because it not only leads to fouling, scaling, and degradation of the downstream equipment and pipelines but also decreases the calorific value of fuel, thereby affecting the overall profit and productivity of the company. Therefore, to avoid economic losses and operational challenges, water must be removed from crude oil before transportation and refining using a process called demulsification.
