Changing crude slates, solids-stabilized emulsions, and operational variability can overwhelm a conventional crude side emulsion breaker program. Nalco Water’s water-dispersible emulsion breaker and overlay program provide an additional treatment pathway from the desalter water phase, helping refineries address persistent emulsions, improve desalter performance, and maintain greater crude processing flexibility.
Unlock better desalter performance and refinery economic gain with Nalco Water’s RESOLV™ Overlay Program
Opportunity crudes can improve refinery economics, but they often bring additional solids, stable emulsions and poorer effluent brine quality. The RESOLV™ Overlay Program adds a water-phase treatment pathway by injecting a water-dispersible emulsion breaker into the desalter wash water, allowing treatment from both the crude and water phases.
Working alongside the primary emulsion breaker, the program helps improve emulsion resolution, enhance desalter performance, increase crude-slate flexibility and support stronger refinery profitability.
