Wax Deposition

This book provides a detailed description of the thermodynamic and transport theories for wax deposition modeling as well as a comprehensive review of laboratory testing for the establishment of appropriate field control strategies. Offering valuable insight from academic research and the flow assurance industry, this text aids engineers in identifying the severity and in providing guidance to control the problem of wax deposition. The book also shows students and researchers how thermodynamics, heat, and mass transfer principles can be applied to solve a problem common to the petroleum industry.
