The emulsion was separated from waste Oil based mud. the mud was centrifuged to separate the liquid from the solid portion of the mud. What method do you suggest for separation the oil and water of the emulsion.
You can use reverse osmosis(a membrane based method) , pls refer to:

or dissolved air flotation method, see paper of:
