Effect of surfactants and their blend with silica nanoparticles on wax deposition in a Malaysian crude oil

Effect of surfactants and their blend with silica nanoparticles on wax deposition in a Malaysian crude oil

Abstract The present study investigated the wax deposition tendencies of a light Malaysian crude oil (42.4° API), and the wax inhibiting potential of some surfactants and their blends with nanoparticles. With the knowledge that the majority of the wax inhibition research revolved around polymeric wa...
