Asphaltene dispersancy
Asphaltene-dispersant selection for crude oils with a tendency to form unstable aggregates and deposits.
How it is used
Asphaltene dispersants help stabilise particles in the oil phase and limit aggregation. Polymer and surfactant selection depends on crude compatibility and the conditions that trigger instability, including blending and changes through the production system.
Application areas
- Crude-oil production and transfer
- Blending operations with asphaltene instability
- Deposit-control programmes for asphaltenic crude
Formulation considerations
Polymeric surfactants and proprietary dispersant formulations are used for this application.
What we need to select a grade
- Crude and deposit samples
- Blend composition and instability history
- Temperature, pressure and current treatment chemicals
Product data and handling
Request the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the proposed grade. Confirm dosage, compatibility, handling and supply requirements before use.
