Stratification phenomenon and laws of wax deposits of waxy oil triggered by asphaltene addition
Stratification phenomenon and laws of wax deposits were studied for oil samples 1 (without asphaltene) and 2 (0.75%(mass) asphaltene) with the same wax content using the Couette wax deposition device. In the study of stratification phenomenon of wax deposits
the macroscopic morphology
DSC curves
amount of precipitated wax and wax crystal microcosmic morphology of the outer and inner deposits of oil samples 1 and 2 were analyzed. It was found that the deposit of oil sample 1 had no obvious stratification while that of oil sample 2 had obvious stratification
proving that the asphaltene led to the stratification of wax deposit. Compared with outer deposit
the WAT
amount of precipitated wax and asphaltene content of inner deposit of oil sample 2 increased significantly. It was found in the study of stratification laws of wax deposits that the outer wax deposition mass decreased with the increase of the temperature of wax deposition barrel
the temperature difference of oil and wax deposition barrel and the rotate speed of oil sample barrel
while the inner one deceased with the increase of the temperature of wax deposition barrel and increased with the temperature difference of oil and wax deposition barrel and the rotate speed of oil sample barrel. The total wax deposition mass deceased with the increase of the temperature of wax deposition barrel and the rotate speed of oil sample barrel
and increased firstly then decreased with the increase of the temperature difference of oil and wax deposition barrel.
