CRYSTALLIZATION OF PARAFFIN FROM THE OIL IN A PIPE AND DEPOSITION OF ASPHALTENE–PARAFFIN SUBSTANCES ON THE PIPE WALLS

Problems associated with the crystallization of paraffi n from the oil in conveying pipes and pipes of heat-exchange apparatus and with the deposition of paraffi n particles on the inner surface of these pipes are considered. Diffusion models of the kinetics of crystallization of paraffi n and its deposition under the indicated conditions are proposed. A comparison of the results of calculations by these models with corresponding experimental data has given positive results
