SYNTHESIS AND STUDY OF DEMULSIFIERS BASED ON POLYCARBOXYLATE ETHERS
Abstract. The article presents the relevance of the use of demulsifiers in oil production. The results of studies of the obtained demulsifier using IR spectroscopy are shown, and the results of the study of the kinetics of the approximate and refined effective dosage of the demulsifier DE-1 in different fields are presented.
Keywords: demulsifier, IR spectroscopy, approximate and refined effective, polycarboxylate ethers.

After processing, the absorption bands in the region of3000-3200 cm-1 disappeared and new absorption bands appeared in the region of3346 cm-1. This shows that the functional group - CONH2 has changed its structure to - CONH-chemical bonds. This shows that the absorption bands are asymmetric to the valence vibrations in the region of 1150-1260 cm-1, and the absorption bands characteristic of symmetric stretching vibrations manifest themselves in the region of 1010-1080 cm-1.
Used glue, as a raw material for the production of the demulsifier, has in its structure hydrophilic (- COONa,- COOC2H5 -CONH2) and -C - C chemical bonds.
In (tab. 1-4) shows the results of the study of the kinetics of water excretion of the tested de-mulsifiers in the conditions of the field Toshli. The analysis of laboratory studies showed that the oil field selected from the well and the gas-measuring unit is homogeneous: it is similar in chemical composition and properties to paraffin type (average 3.7% wt.), High resin (average 19% wt.) according to the sulfur content - high-sulphurous, according to chloride salts and mechanical impurities belong to the third group.
According to the test results (Table 1), it can be seen that when introduced into the initial water-oil emulsion in the amount of240 g/t, there is no negative effect on the preparation process, dehydration and desalting of oil: the degree of dehydration is 60.11%, and the residual content of chloride salts 2.51 g/l.
The results of the study (Table 2) show that the demulsifier, when introduced into the oil-water emulsion, shows a high demulsifying ability. With a maximum specific consumption of 300 g/t, the degree of dehydration is 29.32%, the residual water content in oil is 70.68%. The content of chloride salts in oil decreased from 5.94 to 3.39 g/l. When a demulsifier is introduced into the water-oil emulsion, the released water does not become cloudy, there is no clear phase interface, adhesion to the tube walls is present, there is no intermediate layer, no precipitate forms.

As a result, the efficiency evaluation from the obtained demulsifier line was continued to clarify the optimal effective dosage.
With the introduction of obtained demulsifier (tab. 3) at a dose of240 and 300 g/t to the oil emulsion, a decrease in the chloride salts content (from 7.12 to 1.94 g/t
l) more than three times is observed. The degree of dehydration reaches a maximum value at 300 g/t and is 73.36%, while the same effect is achieved when using 240 g/t of base reagent. Commercial (separated) water does not grow cloudy, there is a clear phase boundary, there is no intermediate layer, no precipitate is formed and adhesion to the walls of the tube is not established.
The results of the obtained demulsifier, are presented in (table 4) show that with the introduction of it into the oil-water emulsion, a significant decrease in chloride salts to 0.69 g/l is observed. With other things being equal, the obtained demulsifier com-

pared to two other obtained demulsifiers from the same line) at a dosage of 300 g/t is more effective, the degree of dehydration reaches a maximum value of 63.74%. Compared to the base, the demulsifier does not provide sufficiently good dehydration at a specific consumption of240 g/t.
With the introduction of the demulsifier into the water-oil emulsion, the released water does not become cloudy, there is a clear phase boundary, there is no intermediate layer, adhesion to the walls of the tube is not formed, but visually present in a small amount of sediment.
Thus, it was established that when preparing Western Toshli and Toshli oil, the consumption rate of the developed demulsifier is 2-1.5 times less than for the known and amounts to 5 and 10 g/t of oil, respectively. It is noted that the rate of separation of water-oil emulsion when using a new demulsifier is higher.
