THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF BRAZILIAN CRUDE OIL AND ASPHALTENE SYSTEMS: AN EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENT AND A PC-SAFT APPLICATION
ABSTRACT Asphaltenes represent the heaviest fraction of crude oils, being recognized by their tendency to self-associate and precipitate. Asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition can cause problems in all stages of production. The objective of this paper is to model Brazilian crude oil and...
