In the process of freeze concentration (FC), the main problems in operating the counter‐current wash column used for separating ice from ice slurries are channeling and viscous fingering. These phenomena lead to the mixing of pure water and mother liquid, as well as entrainment of mother liquid within the removed ice. Experimental and thermal analysis of the wash front interface in this research relates ice melting and wash front breakthrough with the operating conditions (such as the wash water temperature, ice bed temperature and porosity). Criteria for wash front stability are proposed. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009

The condensate gas reservoir of paraffin in Dalaoba is a kind of special and complex gas reservoir.High content of paraffin for condensate gas reservoir in Dalaoba and the deposition of paraffin seriously affect the production and safety to bring about greater economic loss.The method with combination of laser method and on-line filtering method for PVT high-pressure physical property shall be employed,and the simulated deposition method for paraffin precipitation phase state shall be established,therefore,the deviation between the simulated prediction results and experimental value for the paraffin precipitation point in Dalaoba is between 0.2°C~3.5°C to meet the precision requirement on engineering computation.
