The role of nanoparticle-gemini surfactant to improve the flowability of the Malaysian crude oil

Wax deposition on the inner walls of transportation pipelines and production equipment of Malaysian crude oil had been identified as one of the main encounters in the crude oil industry which leads to serious problem in crude oil flow assurance. In this research, the performance of a Gemini surfacta...
