RE: Demusifiers and surfactants
Not all desalts have surfactants or emulsifiers, but they are rare today.

Regarding the presence of surfactants in your process stream (that has to be separated from water), you want them in as low as possible concentrations. In hydrocarbon processing industry, the most frequent surfactants are naphthenic acids.
