A reliable and accurate procedure for determination of wax thickness and wax roughness from pressure drop, weight, and laser measurements has been developed.
Tests with multi-component wax solutions showed results that were consistent with previous studies on wax deposition and wax gelation.
The prediction of wax compositions in the solid phase is in good agreement with the experimental data.
Anti-wax surface modification is a promising approach to reduce wax deposition in crude oil recovery.
It has been shown that the addition of the soft wax as a sealant material for filling the cavity of the hard wax was effective to stabilize the coating state and to enhance the degree of coverage.
Results show that most of the commercial wax inhibitors tested could decrease the deposition of wax, but none has the economical capability to solve the paraffin deposition problem for an extended period of time.
The results indicated that modified nano-silica/EVA can reduce the size of the wax crystals and disperse the wax crystals by heterogeneous nucleation.
The effect of microcrystalline wax addition upon the WAT and gelation temperature is shown to be attributed to merely overlapping compositions of macro- and microcrystalline wax.
The analysis of results indicates that the surface smoothing coatings and the wax smoothing film both greatly decreased the surface roughness of ceramic shells and castings from 3.2–6.3 μm to 0.8–2.5 μm (Ra), and the surface roughness of shells and castings would be improved if the facecoat slurry is prepared with finer filler materials.
