This 2000 book provides an introduction to the nature, occurrence, physical properties, propagation, and uses of surfactants in the petroleum industry.
Explores the foam fundamentals, including bulk foam stability and antifoaming, foams in porous media, and foam sensitivity to oil in porous media. Discusses the application of foams to improving oil recovery in porous media. Presents the application of foams to oilwell and near-well petroleum production. Describes foams in surface processes. Includes a comprehensive glossary of foam terminology.
Based on a Short Course sponsored by Canada's Petroleum Recovery Institute. The first book to focus on the occurrence of emulsions in the petroleum industry. Brings together contributions from a wide range of experts. Provides an up-to-date examination of the nature, occurrence, handling, formation, and breaking of petroleum emulsions. Topics covered include emulsion stability; characterization techniques; rheology of emulsions, and flow properties of emulsions in pipes and porous media, well-head productions, and industrial process streams. Using the fundamental concepts, and based on commercial and pilot-scale experiences, Also shows how to approach making desirable emulsions, transporting and handling them, and how to approach breaking undesirable emulsions.
This book provides an introduction to the nature, formation and occurrence, stability, propagation, and uses of suspensions in the petroleum industry. Its audience is scientists and engineers who may encounter or apply suspensions, whether in process design, petroleum production, or research and development. The primary focus is on the applications of the principles of particle dispersions, with attention given to practical processes and problems. The book illustrates how to understand, make, and use desirable suspensions and how to approach destabilizing, or preventing the occurrence of undesirable suspensions.
Provides brief definitions of both current and older terms encountered in the study of fundamental principles, experimental investigations, and industrial applications of colloid and interface science. Especially notes when terms have changed meanings over the years. Well cross-referenced. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
