Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe an inline demulsification system (400, 430) including an inline flow conditioner (402,410) for separating a multiphase fluid into a liquid phase (420) and a gas phase (422), wherein the liquid phase (420) includes an emulsion; and an ultrasonic wave device (404), provided downstream from the flow conditioner (402, 410), including one or more ultrasonic probes (442) for emitting ultrasonic waves (452) towards the multiphase fluid, wherein the ultrasonic waves (452) demulsify at least a portion of the emulsion. Embodiments of the present disclosure also describe related systems and methods.
