What are the sources of moisture in petroleum products? How many main states does water exist in petroleum products? What is the significance of moisture for production and application?

The production process involves crude oil and steam. Water that enters petroleum products during transportation and storage ; 2. Petroleum products have a certain degree of water absorption; they can absorb and dissolve a portion of water from the atmosphere or when in contact with water. Gas and kerosene mix very little with water, but can still dissolve no more than 0.01% water. The main forms in which water exists in petroleum products are as follows: 1) Suspended state: Water is suspended in the oil in the form of water droplets. It occurs frequently in heavy oil with high viscosity ; 2) Flocculent state: refers to water being evenly dispersed in the oil in the form of extremely small droplets ; 3) Dissolved state: Water exists in a state dissolved in oil. The amount it can dissolve in oil is determined by the chemical composition of the petroleum product and the temperature. Generally, alkanes, cycloalkanes, and olefins have a weak ability to dissolve water, while aromatic hydrocarbons can dissolve more water. The higher the temperature, the more water can dissolve in the oil. Meaningless.
