Paraffin Wax: The Effect of Particles on Crystallisation Kinetics

This project is mainly about to study the effects of different particles properties on the crystallisation kinetics of paraffin wax. In the oil and gas industry, the crude oil that have a high amount of wax is considered a hassle as it is easily deposited in the pipeline and increase the pump load w...
