XERIC™ Heavy Oil Demulsifiers

Improve Profitability, Increase Feedstock Flexibility

Introducing new Baker Petrolite XERIC™ Heavy Oil Demulsifier chemical services!
Designed specifically for heavy Canadian crude oil operations, XERIC Demulsifiers are also proven to be effective with heavy Californian crude oils.

With the high levels of asphaltenes and inorganic solids present in heavier feedstocks, water quality has become a major concern to refiners. Many desalter demulsifiers are deficient in their ability to maintain low oil and grease levels in the effluent water.

The ability of the XERIC 7000 Heavy Oil Demulsifier to provide cleaner effluent water quality is significant to the treating capabilities of the wastewater treatment plant.

XERIC Demulsifier features offer:

  • Better resolution of stabilized emulsions
  • Reduction of hydrocarbon in the effluent water
  • Increased salt removal
  • Improved dehydration

Proven benefits for your operations:

  • Improves plant profitability by allowing processing of higher quantities of heavier, lower cost feedstocks
  • Increases feedstock flexibility
  • Reduces oil losses
  • Reduces oil recovery costs
  • Reduces slop oil handling
  • Helps prevent wastewater treatment plant upsets
  • Improves overall wastewater treatment plant performance
  • Helps control expenses related to wastewater plant chemical treatment
