多重光散射仪在石油领域中的应用

Asphaltenes are causing major problems in the extraction process of crude oil as they can lead to fouling & clogging in pipes or even in the entire well when they aggregate. Moreover asphaltenes play the role of natural emulsifier which stabilises water-in-oil emulsions formed during production of crude oil. Asphaltenes also have an impact on the refinery efficiency and the fuel oil quality. To overcome these technical issues, chemical additives are used. It is therefore important to have a technique that can identify the most suitable additive, but also to measure accurately the stability of oil or emulsions
