Understanding the Challenge of Wax Deposits
Wax Cleaner additives are essential in addressing the challenge of organic deposits, which form when crude oil flow temperature drops below the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT). Paraffin wax deposits typically emerge at low temperatures, such as during extraction in deep waters or cold regions. This wax is naturally present in oil, with quantities varying from one well to another. At lower temperatures, it crystallizes, forming solid deposits that obstruct boreholes, pipelines, and surface equipment, significantly reducing well productivity and transport system efficiency.
TotalEnergies Wax Cleaner additives effectively combat wax deposits by solubilizing and dispersing them. They boast a cleansing effect that prevents wax crystals from reforming later in the process.
