Oil Processing

Crude oil is a geographically unique and complex substance, that is formed under high pressure and temperature. An infinite mixture of organic chemical components exist in light, paraffinic, or heavy oils. These include, waxes up to C60, esters, organic acids, asphaltenes and napthalenes.

Depending on the make up of the above components, the crude oil has its own specific characteristics such as, specific gravity, wax content, pour point, colour, etc.
The crude oil can cause a series of problems such as:

  • Wax deposition
  • Emulsion problem
  • Residual Oil in Water problems
