Rag layers are accumulations of emulsified water, oil, and solids that can occur at the oil-water interface during the separation of water and crude oil in oilfield and refinery operations. Rag layer growth can lead to poor separation and process upsets which reduce oil recovery, increase energy requirements, and lead to wasteful emissions from the incineration of otherwise untreatable emulsions. Field observations suggest that solids such as clays, silicates, and corrosion products contribute to the most problematic rag layers.

碎料层是乳化水、油和固体的积聚物，其可在油田和炼油厂操作中的水和原油分离期间在油-水界面处出现。碎料层的生长会导致分离效果差和工艺混乱，这会降低油回收率，增加能量需求，并导致因焚烧其他不可处理的乳液而产生的浪费性排放。现场观察表明，粘土、硅酸盐和腐蚀产物等固体是最有问题的碎屑层的原因。
