The Influence of Processing Conditions on the Sedimentation Kinetics of Highly Waxy Crude Oil

The research study of the effect caused by the temperature factor, additives, and magnetic field on the kinetics of sedimentation and pour point of high-paraffin low-resin oil demonstrated that treatment with the additives leads to decrease in oil sludge formation, variation of sedimentation rate and kinetics, however, joint effect of the additive and magnetic field provides no synergistic effect.
