Improvement of Demulsifying Characteristics of Inhibited Turbine Oil

Abstract

The results of experimental investigations on improving the demulsifying characteristics of inhibited turbine oils are presented. It was established that the Neftenol-BS demulsifier reduces the effectiveness of the corrosion inhibitor Neftekhimeko-1 by less than 2% whereas the demulsifying characteristics of inhibited oil are improved by 9.5 times. It was shown that an additive composition containing corrosion inhibitor Neftekhimeko-1 and alkenylsuccinic aldehyde in a ratio of 85:15 by weight is highly effective. Inhibited turbine oil containing such a composition at a concentration of 0.1 wt % had protective and demulsifying characteristics that meet the requirements in the operation of gas compressor units in media containing hydrogen sulfide.
