More Information
Summary:Multi-component performance liquids suitable for treating a stream comprising crude oil and water, and methods of their use, are provided. The multi-component performance liquids comprise solvent and active ingredients, which may have a weight average molecular weight of from about 1200 daltons to about 300,000 daltons. The methods comprise activating a multi-component performance liquid, delivering the activated multi-component performance liquid to a stream comprising crude oil and water, and allowing the treated stream to separate into an oil phase and an aqueous phase.
