Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to derive a new composite demulsifier for dehydration of highly emulgated oil with high paraffin content, reducing the emulsion stability. The main active substances are fatty acids of cotton steatite esterified with polyethylene glycol, as well as sulfanol, Sintanol ALM‐10, silica gel, and white spirit in certain proportions. Studies under laboratory conditions on the demulsification of oil from Ashysay field showed that the new composite demulsifier is a suitable reagent for the destruction of water‐oil emulsions. Sulfanol and Sintanol ALM‐10 confer washing and wetting effects on the mixture, and silica gel favors the adsorption of oil asphaltenes onto its surface.
