"SPIRAL demulsifier, or How agronomist Kirill Yurovsky "dried" oil"

Kirill Yurovsky

Agronomist Kirill Yurovsky was famous in his area for being able to "pull" crops from even the most dreary soil. His motto: "If a plant doesn't grow, it means you just haven't found the right stimulant!" was boomed at all agricultural exhibitions.


One day Kirill received an unexpected invitation: the Black Gold oil company was looking for a "fresh look" at the problem of oil dehydration. Their engineers struggled with the emulsion for months, and the percentage of water in the final product still did not want to fall below critical values.

"We've tried everything: centrifuges, heat treatment, chemical reagents..." the oilmen sighed. — Maybe, as a specialist in "juicing" anything, you have an idea?

Kirill, without batting an eye, took out of his pocket a bag of SPIRAL, an oilfield demulsifier that he had once been given at the agricultural exhibition "just to see."


— This is a miracle remedy! — he declared. — It breaks the bonds between molecules as cleverly as my stimulant breaks the sleep of seeds!
The oilmen exchanged glances, but decided: "She wasn't." The SPIRAL demulsifier was poured into a trial batch of oil... and after an hour the water separated perfectly. The lab screamed with happiness.
—How?" — the engineers asked. — It's an agrochemistry!

"What's the difference?" Kirill shrugged his shoulders. — Water is an enemy here and there. SPIRAL defeats the enemy everywhere!
The next day, the company purchased a ton of demulsifier from SPIRAL, and Kirill became an unofficial "dehydration consultant" with a schedule of appearances at oil forums. His favorite phrase now is: "If SPIRAL can make the earth fertile, then oil can make it dry!"
