Paraffin deposition is a severe global problem during crude oil production and
transportation. To inhibit the formation of paraffin deposits, the commonly used methods are …

In this review, we present a framework to guide the design of surfaces which are resistant to
solid fouling, based on the modulus and length scale of the fouling material. Solid fouling is …

The strong adhesion by crude oil and the deposition of wax in petrochemical pipeline
systems are notorious problems, which seriously threaten the safety and economic …

Wax deposition and flow obstruction in the petroleum industry cause serious safety
problems and economic loss. Superamphiphobic coating with anti-adhesion property can be …

Currently there is an increasing demand for the application of hydrophobic surface in
industrial and biological processes. It has been found that the contact angle with liquid …

Paraffin wax deposition is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the petroleum production industry.
Many types of internal pipe coating materials have previously been tested for preventing …

Coating is increasingly used as a cost-effective strategy for controlling heavy component
deposition in waxy crude oil transportation flowlines. This paper systematically investigated …

Wax deposition on pipeline from crude oil is a prevalent problem that petroleum industry has
always been suffered. In this paper, a conversion coating on carbon steel with good anti-wax …

Wax deposition is a detrimental problem that happens during crude oil production and
transportation, which greatly reduces transport efficiency and causes huge economic losses …

Wax deposition in pipelines can be very costly for plant operation in oil industry. New
techniques are needed for allocation and thickness determination of wax deposits. The …
