Wax Mitigation and Remediation: A Microfluidic Approach

Wax deposition is one of the oldest problems facing oil transport. It can lead to decreased flow rates, an increase in required pumping power, or even equipment failure.
Out of various proposed techniques, chemical treatment has received the most attention - it offers uninterrupted production, long-distance pipeline compatibility, and reduced restart pressure.
Still, no chemistry exists that works for all types of oil. Process-specific testing has thus been widely recommended. Measuring the wax appearance temperature and screening different types of wax inhibitors for oil and gas are two services critical to flow assurance.
Interface Fluidics offers chemical screening that helps identify the best mitigation and remediation strategies for each reservoir and pipeline - along with the large datasets needed to fine tune wax models.

Excellent presentation
May have another application with alkaline nanobubble dispersions for you to test!

Hi, David! Feel free to send us a note at info @ InterfaceFluidics.com, we'd love to hear more about your work.

How can I get a report and papers published from the Case study involving wax-stabilized crude oil emulsions, please? I will like to discuss it in detail as I am doing something similar. Can I have a contact person and email please?
