✦ Synopsis
Bioemulsifiers are a unique class of compounds that have a variety of potential applications in the use of bacteria, in enhanced oil recovery and reduce oil viscosity. In this project, a bioemulsifier was synthesized by strain of Bacillus licheniformis and was separated by autoclave and centrifugal process; the purification of bioemulsifier and the increase quality of product was done by add sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) (98%) to solution and centrifuged again. This bioemulsifier has the property of emulsification a wide range of heavy oils and crude oils to form a stable oil-water emulsion.
