Abstract:Wax deposition is an important issue affecting the safe and economical transportation of waxy crude oil via pipelines. Molecular diffusion and aging are considered to be the main mechanisms of wax deposition. However, more and more studies proved the molecular diffusion and aging mechanisms alone cannot fully explain the wax deposition phenomenon. In this Review, the calculation accuracy of wax molecular diffusion coefficient, the wax deposit delay characteristic, deposit formation under zero and negative temp… Show more
