COILED TUBE EMULSIFICATION METHODS

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present technology may include a method of forming an emulsion. The method may include flowing an oil stream and an aqueous stream into a coiled tube to form a mixture of an oil phase and an aqueous phase in the coiled tube. The method may also include flowing the mixture in the coiled tube against gravity and under laminar conditions. A plurality of beads may be disposed within the coiled tube. The method may further include mixing the oil phase and the aqueous phase in the coiled tube until the emulsion is formed.
