MULTI-SOLID MODEL MODIFIED TO PREDICT PARAFFIN PRECIPITATION IN PETROLEUM FLUIDS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES

A thermodynamic structure has been modified in order to calculate cloud point, fluidity and amount of precipitated wax under a wide range of temperature conditions, composition, and high pressures. The model is based on a combination of ideal solution concepts, fluid characterization, and formation...
