PROCESSING A FLUID EMULSION

Abstract: a system includes a fluid container formed of a conductive metal and at least one opening; a plurality of electromagnetic acoustic transducers (emats) coupled with the fluid container; and a control system communicably coupled to each of the plurality of emats and configured to transmit a pattern of electrical signals to the plurality of emats to cause the plurality of emats to energize so that each emat generates an electromagnetic field with the at least one coil and a magnetic field with the at least one magnet to interact with the electromagnetic field to generate acoustic wave energy directed through the fluid container and to a hydrocarbon fluid emulsion within the fluid container to at least partially separate the hydrocarbon fluid emulsion into at least a water phase and a hydrocarbon phase.
