Primary Emulsion Breakers

Processing heavier, more variable, or solids-containing crude oils can increase emulsion stability in the desalter, making oil-water separation more difficult. Nalco Water’s RESOLV™ Primary Emulsion Breaker Program combines advanced chemistry, technical expertise and tailored application strategies to help refineries maintain effective separation across a wide range of crude slates.

Improve Desalter Performance Across Changing Crude Slates

Nalco Water has a long history of helping refiners improve desalter performance through advanced chemistry and technical expertise. We continue to innovate emulsion breaker technologies to address increasingly challenging crude feeds.

Broad-spectrum primary emulsion breakers accelerate water-droplet coalescence and improve emulsion resolution, helping refineries strengthen oil-water separation while maintaining desalter performance, operational stability and processing flexibility.
