Fluid Separation
Coastal Chemical provides a full suite of phase separation technologies designed to improve oil quality, water, and gas separation across production and processing systems. Our lineup is engineered to improve separation efficiency and protect downstream equipment. Whether dealing with tight emulsions, persistent foam, or poor water quality, our customized chemical programs help ensure smoother operations.
Demulsifiers
Demulsifiers are specialty chemicals used to break oil/water emulsions, allowing for effective separation of crude oil from produced water. In many production environments, oil and water don’t naturally separate due to emulsifying agents such as asphaltenes, resins, or fine solids. Demulsifiers disrupt these stable emulsions, enabling clean phase separation.

Conventional Demulsifiers – Emulsions Stabilized by Asphaltenes, Paraffins, High Viscosity, and Organic/Inorganic Solids
Foamers & Defoamers
Foamers are specialty chemicals used in oilfield operations to promote and stabilize foam formation, primarily to improve liquid removal and gas production in gas wells. They work by reducing surface tension and generating stable foam that helps lift accumulated liquids to the surface, minimizing liquid loading and improving well productivity. Foamers are commonly used in gas well deliquification, artificial lift applications, and production optimization.
Defoamers (antifoaming agents) are specialty chemicals used in oilfield operations to prevent, reduce, or eliminate foam formation in oil, gas, and water processing systems. They improve gas-liquid separation, minimize operational disruptions, and enhance processing efficiency in separators, gas treating units, and production facilities.
Chemistries that provide excellent foam stability and compatibility with various water conditions.
Specialized foaming performance based on fluid compatibility and operating conditions
Chemistries highly effective on foam control at low dosages
Specialty formulations for challenging hydrocarbon-rich environments
Silicon-free alternatives for applications with silicon restrictions
Water Clarifiers
Water clarifiers are chemical additives used in oil and gas production to improve the separation and quality of produced water by helping remove fine oil droplets, suspended solids, and other contaminants. They are essential for cleaning up water before it’s either reinjected, treated further, or disposed.
By improving the clarity of the produced water and accelerating the separation of oil and solids, oil quality and the longevity of system assets improve.
