Multiphase flowmetering is a requirement across a range of process industries, particularly
those that pertain to oil and gas. Generally, both the composition and individual phase …

Ultrasonic spectroscopy has a great potential to measure the particle sizes in suspensions
and emulsions of many industrial sectors. However, one significant challenge is measuring …

Emulsions are ubiquitous in many consumer products, including food, cosmetics and
pharmaceuticals. Whilst their macroscopic characterisation is well-established …

We present a novel multiphase flow metering technique for simultaneous measurement of
oil and water volumetric flowrates. An Earth's field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) …

The necessity of increasing the efficiency of primary oil purification in a drilling station or an
offshore platform has been substantiated. We consider the problems that arise during the …

Particle-stabilised emulsions are of interest to many scientists in both academia and industry
as they hold promise for numerous applications. There is a lot of research effort put into …

Asphaltenes are widely associated with the unwanted stability of water-in-crude oil (w/o)
emulsions due to their inhibitory effect on water droplet coalescence. Here, we seek to prove …

Demulsification of water-in-crude oil emulsions is an essential and sometimes challenging
procedure for crude oil processing facilities. Pulse field gradient (PFG) NMR techniques are …

Ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) explosive emulsions are comparatively safe, effective and
low‐cost products for mining operations. They consist of a supersaturated ammonium nitrate …

Monitoring of emulsion properties is important in many applications, since aged and broken
emulsions perform worse and may affect product quality. Emulsion quality monitoring is a …
