Experimental Study of Paraffin Wax Precipitation and Its Effect on Corrosion Behavior of Carbon Steel Pipeline

Paraffin wax is a nuisance to flow assurance in transportation pipelines as it tends to precipitate at the pipeline wall which causes interruption to the flow assurance. Moreover, CO2 corrosion can cause damage in the pipeline material by deteriorating the pipelines material. There is not much resea...
