Abstract: 
Деемульгування (зневоднення) є однією з найважливіших проблем у нафтовій промисловості. Особливістю емульсій важких нафт є їхня висока стабільність, оскільки важка нафта містить значну кількість смол та асфальтенів. У цій статті подано огляд проблеми зневоднення важких нафтових емульсій, підкреслено важливість розуміння їхніх властивостей для розробки відповідних методів деемульгування. Особливу увагу приділено використанню екологічно безпечних деемульгаторів. Аналіз поточних досліджень у цій галузі буде корисним для науковців та інженерів.
