Asphaltene and Wax Formation Analysis: Asphaltene and wax phase behavior is quite different than the conventional “PVT” phase behavior. Asphaltenes exhibit a behavior at some thermodynamic states called flocculation. That is, asphaltene particles or micelles aggregate or flocculate into larger aggregates or flocs. The locus of all thermodynamic points in a P-T-x phase diagram at which […]
