Breaking emulsions to separate oil phase from water phase
Breaking emulsions to separate oil phase from water phase
(OP)
Hello,
My name is Carlos and I work as a technician in a veterinary plant where we manufacture inactivated vaccines. Our vaccines are WO emulsions, with a 7:3 proportion of oil and water respectively. Now we want to treat our residumms from the installation cleanless. These residumms contain 100 L of water and 25 L of stable WO emulsion. I would like to know what is most effective method to break this kind of emulsions completely. We need less than 150 ppm of oil in the resulting water.
Thank you very much for your attention.

Emulsion breakers, in my experience, are trial and error to hit the right product and the right amount but they can be very successful.
A centrifuge is other possible options. I've seen this used to separate a very stable water in oil emulsion and there was essenially no oil in the water.

Facet Inernational use this type of unit to clean aircraft fuel from water. Try the web site and talk to a local rep.
