ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT STATE OF RESEARCHES OF THE DEPOSITION OF ASPHALT-RESINOUS SUBSTANCES, PARAFFIN, AND MODELING METHODS. REVIEW PART II: WAX DEPOSITION
Keyword(s):
The mechanism of paraffin formation in transport pipes is briefly discussed. A kinetic model of the formation and wax deposition from oil is proposed. Comparison of the model with the available experimental data gave satisfactory results. The review considers software tools for modeling the wax deposition process. It is noted that the simulation results are not always applicable to real field cases. For a more reliable interpretation, the scaling effect must be taken into account. In the work various technologies for wax removal are considered
