CRUDE OIL WITH IMPROVED FLOW PROPERTIES

A method of transporting waxy crudes through conduits at reduced friction and preventing wax separation or precipitation so as to inhibit plugging and flow restriction and improve the pour point properties of the crude by adding to such waxy crudes a small amount of a polymeric material containing a...

More Information
Summary:A method of transporting waxy crudes through conduits at reduced friction and preventing wax separation or precipitation so as to inhibit plugging and flow restriction and improve the pour point properties of the crude by adding to such waxy crudes a small amount of a polymeric material containing aliphatic hydrocarbon side chains of at least 14 carbon atoms.
