ABSTRACT:
A process is described for the treatment of an aqueous medium which has been polluted with hydrocarbon compounds, termed crude oil, and a demulsifying and dispersing composition. The crude oil is brought into contact with a solution of a mixture of polyglycerol esters in a proportion of at least 50 ppm by weight in order to inhibit formation of a water-in crude oil emulsion or to partially break the emulsion if it has already formed. The polyglycerol esters can be combined with a surfactant, preferably an anionic surfactant, such as a sodium alkylsulphosuccinate.
