The Application of the Wheel Flow Simulator in the Evaluation of Crude Oil Pour Point Depressant

An application of wheel flow simulator in the evaluation of pour point depressant is described in this paper. The application of feasibility of the wheel flow simulator in the pilot test of pour point depressant is justified. The experimental data given in this paper show that the temperature limits pipelining doesd and undosed crude oils, as well as friction factors and the apparent viscosity of crude oil as functions of temperature, can be easily measured on the wheel flow simulator.
