Abstract
Background Of Study
Traditional chemical-based demulsifiers in the oil and gas industry has several major issues that can affect their effectiveness and environmental sustainability. Chemical-based demulsifiers can contaminate water sources and harm aquatic life, as well as contribute to the formation of microplastics and other pollutants (Deshpande et al., 2015; Esmaeili et al., 2018). These chemicals can corrode equipment and infrastructure, leading to high cost of maintenance and replacement, and every possibility of reacting with other materials used in oil and gas processing (Abdel-Raouf, 2012; Pereira et al., 2017).
