CRUDE OIL WAXES, EMULSIONS, AND ASPHALTENES
Item# 9780878147373
Brand: PennWell

by J.R. Becker

Oilfield waxes and emulsions are petroleum byproducts that increase the costs of production, transportation, and refining by causing equipment failures, plugged pipelines, and decreased throughput. This book is the first of its kind in explaining the physical chemical problems associated with waxes and emulsions and the new technologies for treatment of these problems.
