Crude Oil Waxes, Emulsions, and Asphaltenes
(4/7/2003) Crude Oil Waxes, Emulsions, and Asphaltenes, by J. R. Becker, is an
excellent explanation of the physical chemical problems associated with
petroleum byproducts that cause equipment failure, plug pipelines, and
decrease throughput explained by a consultant for chemical companies. The
volume provides a number of descriptions of new technologies that deal with
waxes, emulsions, and asphaltenes and provide solutions to the problems they
cause.
Becker discusses each of the three byproducts separately and considers such
forces involved in each, including the properties of emulsions, chemical
surfaces, the bulk behavior of asphaltenes, and the physical properties of
treatment chemicals. And, to make the presentation more accessible for all
readers, he gives an introduction to the subject for those with no
background in advanced chemistry that provides an intuitive understanding of
the problems and solutions.
Crude Oil Waxes, Emulsions, and Asphaltenes by J. R. Becker, is published by
Pennwell Publishing, ISBN 0878147373, Copyright 1997, it is priced at
US$78.95 and available through the publisher or at specialty bookshops.
