2. Waste Oil Treatment Chemicals
Absorbents
Waste oil emulsions are simply
mixtures of two “un-mixable” liquids
usually oil and water.
Oil Technics offers spill contractors an ex-stock range of pads, rolls, socs and
booms together with Spill Kits and oil containment products.
To view our full range, see our websites: www.oilpads.eu
Oil Pads With The New MAXX Technology
Typically emulsions contains three phases:
• The Dispersed Phase
Absorb up to 24 X their weight in oil – the most absorbent
pad per kilogram on the market. With MAXX technology
less material is needed to pick up the same amount of oil,
which results in lower disposal costs!
Ideal for environmental and industrial applications where
low costs and high absorbency are required.
- Consisting of very small
uncoalesced droplets.
• The Continuous Phase - Which keeps the
droplets in suspension.
• The Interphase
www.spillkit.eu
- Which binds the dispersed
and continuous phases
together.
Dispense-N-Dispose
Oil Treatment chemicals are designed to separate these
phases.
A clever idea… Dispense and Dispose.
They do this by first making the emulsion unstable, then
coalescing together the individual water (or oil droplets)
to form three continuous phases.
Dispenser Box for easy access to the sorbents.
Disposal box and bags for easy off site removal of oily
waste.
The best oil treatment chemical is the one that releases
from the emulsion the most free oil, water and solids
and has the least Interphase.

150 Oil or Maintenance Pads per box - 41cm x 51cm
How to select a demulsifier using either the “Bottle” Test or a “Centrifuge” Test:
A sample of absorbents available from our websites

• Shake the emulsion sample vigorously, fill each tube and heat to 60°C.
• Inject 2000 ppm of a range of selected demulsifiers leaving one tube as the “Control”. Shake each tube
vigorously for 20 seconds in a horizontal and vertical direction and replace in the water bath at 70°C.
• Note the amount of free water, released oil and interphase produced in each sample and compare with
the BS & W obtained from a Dean and Stark analysis of the sample.

• Heat the oil sample to 60°C shake vigorously and pour into each centrifuge tube. Leaving one tube as the
control apply one drop from a range of demulsifiers to each tube and centrifuge for 10 minutes.
Choose the solution which gives the best free water, solids, oil separation and least interphase.
• The Centrifuge Test is more often used by operators who stream their waste oil emulsions and have
demulsifier experience.
