Study on wax deposition of heavy crude oil in pipeline transportation by using oil in water emulsion method

Oil in water emulsion occurs in conventional crude oil transportation process. The emulsion stability results from the high concentration of asphaltene, wax, resins and napthenic acid on the composition of emulsion will causing the appearances of wax deposited on the wall of the pipelines, this con...
