  • Patent number: 11920092
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the use of ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers with a high randomness monomers distribution, which are synthesized by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization process, characterized because it is carried out using slow addition rate of the pre-emulsion feeding ({dot over (q)}?0.009 kgL·L?1·min?1), stabilized this last one by alkyl glycol ether type surfactants, at temperatures higher than 75° C. and with solids contents above 25 wt %, which avoids the formation of large sequences (blocks) of a same monomer. This structural characteristic gives the ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers a high efficiency as chemical agents for removal of complex water/crude oil emulsions of crude oil blends.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2023
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2024
    Assignee: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETROLEO
    Inventors: Cesar Andres Flores Sandoval, Flavio Salvador Vazquez Moreno, Fernando Alvarez Ramirez, Gerardo Zavala Olivares, Erika Gomez Buendia, Enrique Cevada Maya, Jessica Valeria Fuentes Santiago, Edgar Benedicto Zamora Guerrero, Citlally Janinne Vargas Martinez

  • Publication number: 20220106530
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the field of chemical products for petroleum conditioning, in particular demulsifying agents. This disclosure concerns the application of terpolymers based on combinations of alkyl acrylates, aminoalkyl acrylates, and alkoxyalkyl acrylates, to destabilize water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, in order to remove the emulsified water and salts dissolved in it, specifically, in the triphasic separation units for crude oils with API densities from 8 to 40° API.
