Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods for adding a recirculation chemical composition to a hydrocarbon containing stream. The recirculation chemical composition may be an emulsion breaker. The hydrocarbon containing stream may be separated into a stream containing water and a stream containing oil. The stream containing oil may be contacted in a water wash unit, and the residual emulsion breaker may be removed from the stream containing oil.
