EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF WAX FORMATION AND ITS MITIGATION IN A MALAYSIAN WAXY CRUDE OIL

The aims for this research study are to identify the wax formation mechanisms involve in the deposition process and analyze the wax crystallization kinetics in agreement to the Avrami theory. The main objectives for this research study are to investigate the effects of varying crude oil temperatu...
