ABSTRACT:
A method of increasing the efficiency of the electrostatic separation of a continuous hydrocarbon emulsions or dispersion by increasing the electrical conductivity of the emulsion or dispersion. An increase in electrical conductivity is provided with an effective amount of an electrically conductive agent (conductivity modifier). Examples of electrically conductive agents are antistatic agents such as anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants.
