An Overview of Wax Crystallization, Deposition Mechanism and Effect of Temperature & Shear

An Overview of Wax Crystallization, Deposition Mechanism and Effect of Temperature & Shear

Wax deposition can cause serious problem to crude oil transportation especially in offshore transport pipelines. It is cause by the heat transfer between the crude oil and the surrounding if there is no or insufficient thermal insulation layer coating on the pipeline. Cause of the wax deposition in...
