ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for the in-line blending of a crude oil with an aqueous hydrocarbon emulsion, such as an aqueous emulsion formed in-situ in a cavern in a salt dome, wherein the crude oil and aqueous crude oil emulsion are separately fed to a dynamic in-line blender wherein the crude oil is formed into a flowing crude oil shear curtain and wherein the stream of the aqueous crude oil emulsion is charged to the interior of the flowing crude oil shear curtain, whereby the aqueous emulsion is impacted upon and fragmented by the crude oil of the flowing crude oil shear curtain to form a flowing suspension of finely divided aqueous emulsion particles in the crude oil.
