Evaluation on the Inhibitor Selection on Wax Deposition for Malaysian Crude Oil

Evaluation on the Inhibitor Selection on Wax Deposition for Malaysian Crude Oil

Wax precipitates from crude oil when a fluid is cooled down below its wax appearance temperature (WAT). This particularly happens during the transportation of crude oil in the pipeline system. In this study, chemical inhibitors were chosen to prevent and reduce wax formation using seven different ty...
