remove naphthenic acids using chelation to our nanoparticles
About
We can potentially remove naphthenic acids using chelation to our nanoparticles. Due to the large surface area, the nano form can be more effective than current methods. The particles can be filled in cartridges (like Britta water filters) and the oil can be forced to go through and get filtered
Key Benefits
Reduction in the total acid number.
Applications
Crude oil production Bitumen production
