7 48,456 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The separation rate of an oil-in-water or a water-in-oil emulsion is increased by first determining the HLB number of the emulsion and then adding to the emulsion a surfactant which has the opposite HLB number. The HLB number of the emulsion can be determined by iden- tifying whether the emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion and using an HLB number of 3 to 7 if the emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsion and an HLB number of 7 to 18 if the emulsion is a water-in-oil emul- sion. The type of emulsion can be determined by measuring the electrical resistance, a resistance of less than 1000 ohms indicating an oil-in-water emulsion and a resistance of more than 1000 ohms indicating a water-in-oil emulsion.
