Abstract

The article describes a study which investigated the quantitative characteristics of wax crystals. It cites the testing of the wax crystal structures of two crude oils during their paraffin precipitation through the use of the image analysis methods. The wax crystal dimensions of the crude oils were obtained based on fractal theory, while the viscosity-temperature properties were determined through rheological technique.
