Oil-water separation: From molecules to drop dynamics In his doctoral work at NTNU, Åsmund Ervik studied how molecules on the interface of water drops in oil influence drop behaviour. This may lead to more efficient oil processing and potentially lower use of energy and chemicals.
Most oil fields produce water in addition to oil. The water cannot be sold, and it is expensive to transport it. Therefore, the…
