A critical review on the development of wax inhibiting agent in facilitating remediation process of contaminated groundwater
Transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum is the main function of pipeline system in petroleum industry. Unfortunately, wax precipitation has become a serious problem for the petroleum industry where it causes pipeline blockage and eventually results in operational catastrophe. Up-to-date, t...

Transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum is the main function of pipeline system in petroleum industry.
