Ultrasound Applied in the Reduction of Viscosity of Heavy Crude Oil

Ultrasound Applied in the Reduction of Viscosity of Heavy Crude Oil

Reducing the viscosity of heavy oil through upgrading techniques is crucial to maintaining the demand for oil, which is growing at an annual rate of 1.8%. The phenomenon of acoustic cavitation occurs when ultrasound is applied in the treatment of heavy crudes. This is an emerging technology that is...
