Study on the application of Taylor-Couette column for emulsion liquid membrane system has been done. To optimise extraction process under TCC, a research to investigate effect of volume ratio of oil to water is of important. Fluid viscosity was examined by varying volume ratio of kerosene to water. TCC was characterised to determine flow regimes, shear stress, and energy loss distribution. Volume ratio of oil to water was varied at 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, and 1:6 while inner and outer cylinders speed were maintained constant at 31.4 and 0 rad/s, respectively. Investigation on the effect of volume ratio of oil to water towards flow regime ended to same flow regime of Turbulence Taylor Vortices (TTV). There was degradation of wall shear stress from 8.57x10-2 Pa to 7.42x10-2 Pa. © 2019 Author(s).
