倍半硅氧烷/改性乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯共聚物复配降凝剂对蜡油倾点的影响

乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯共聚物(EVA)是原油常用的降凝剂(PPDs),但其分子结构相对比较单一,对部分油品降凝效果不佳。 为了提高EVA的降凝效果,使用硬脂酰氯与羟基化的EVA直接反应的方法制备烷基长链接枝改性EVA,并与带有烷基长链的倍半硅氧烷(SS)纳米粒子进行复配。 研究了改性EVA和SS复配降凝剂对蜡油的降凝效果和降凝机理。 结果表明:复配降凝剂为蜡提供晶核,使蜡晶变小并降低蜡的沉淀量,导致蜡油中形成的蜡晶难以搭接在一起,形成了松散的结构,当复配质量比m(EVA-g)∶m(SS-L)=1∶2时,在蜡油中的质量分数为0.1%时,蜡油倾点降低了25 ℃。     

原油加剂降凝的研究

采用高温气相色谱分析了越南、阿曼和大庆原油中蜡的碳数及分布组成,采用偏光显微镜观察了不同蜡含量原油的蜡晶形态变化时,分析了蜡结晶过程中的结构、分布状态和生长规律与不同原油组成的关系,得出了蜡结晶过程与原油组成之间的变化规律。结合采用X射线衍射仪和DSC差示扫描量热仪对自制聚合物(MOA)的结晶度和热性能的分析测试,表明原油中蜡晶结构与聚合物的结晶度密切相关,结晶度变化时,蜡晶分散效果有所区别,两者匹配状态时分散效果最佳,体系的粘温特性研究也证明了这一点。同时,降凝剂使得系统的热性能——溶解焓和溶解熵均发生了改变,原油中石蜡的熔程变长,相变能变大。     

含蜡原油降凝剂与石蜡作用机理的研究进展与探讨

高分子降凝剂产品已广泛应用于原油的开采和输送工艺中,但是,对降凝剂降凝机理认识的不足制约了降凝剂的开发和应用.降凝剂与油品中石蜡的相互作用决定其降凝机理.本文综述了近年来人们在研究降凝剂与石蜡作用机理方面所使用的研究方法和所取得的进展,并深入探讨了降凝剂与石蜡的具体作用方式.对于含蜡原油,降凝剂主要通过与石蜡的共晶、吸附作用使蜡晶结构更紧凑,并促进小蜡晶聚集成较大尺寸的聚集体,从而大大降低蜡.油界面积,破坏蜡晶三维网络的形成,宏观上表现为原油凝点降低,低温流动性改善.

Advances in the research of polymeric pour point depressant for waxy crude oil

In the pipeline transportation of waxy crude oil when the temperature of the waxy crude oil drops lower than the wax appearance temperature (WAT), wax precipitates continuously from oil phase, which brings a series of negative impacts on pipeline performance and even causes complete blockage under severe conditions in recent decades, polymeric pour point depressants have a very important practical application in depressing the pour point and improving the fluidity of waxy crude oil, thus reducing the cost of waxy crude oil pipeline transportation. The most commonly used types of the polymeric pour point depressants include ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers, comb copolymers, and nano-hybrid pour point depressants. In this paper, the structural character, interactive types, and the action mechanism of the polymeric pour point depressants are reviewed with their application and research progress introduced.     

Effect of modified nano-silica/EVA on flow behavior and wax crystallization of model oils with different wax contents

The nano-hybrid pour-point depressant (PPD) was prepared with organically modified nano-silica covering in EVA. The effects of modified nano-silica/EVA on the flow behavior and wax crystallization of model oils with different wax contents were evaluated. Compared with pure EVA and nano-silica/EVA, modified nano-silica/EVA exhibited a better effect, when doped with 500?ppm, the pour point of the model oil containing 20?wt% wax was reduced from 33°C to 0°C. However, it is noteworthy that pour point cannot accurately reflect the effect of YSiO2/EVA as cold flow improver for a high wax content. The crystal morphology and crystallization behavior of the model oils at low temperature were also observed using polarizing optical microscopy (POM). The results indicated that modified nano-silica/EVA can reduce the size of the wax crystals and disperse the wax crystals by heterogeneous nucleation.     

Thermal behavior and solid fraction dependent gel strength model of waxy oils

Thermal behavior of waxy oils is investigated using the techniques of thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Model waxy oils and real waxy crude oils are utilized. Decomposition temperatures of waxy oils are obtained using TG analysis. The effects of thermal history, wax content, and additive on the gelation process of waxy oils are investigated using DSC. The DSC method provides a measure of wax solubility as well as solid fraction. An integration method and a computation method are utilized to predict solid fraction. In addition, wax crystallization onset points are obtained at the cooling rates ranging from 1 to 20 °C min^?1. Similarly, wax dissolution endset points are obtained at heating rates ranging from 1 to 20 °C min^?1. Extrapolated onset and endset points yield wax precipitation temperature and wax dissolution temperature, respectively. Subsequently, wax solubility curves are obtained using thermodynamic computations. A wax precipitation temperature method and a wax dissolution temperature method combine thermodynamic phase behavior with onset/endset points to predict solid fraction. Both the wax precipitation temperature method and the wax dissolution temperature method can predict solid fraction of waxy oil samples. The wax precipitation temperature method and the wax dissolution temperature method are accurate when the temperature is close to the wax appearance temperature. A heat-integration method provides accurate values of the solid fraction at temperatures significantly below the wax appearance temperature. Therefore, integration method and wax precipitation temperature/wax dissolution temperature method are combined to predict solid fraction. The effect of solid fraction on yield stress is also investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and rheometry. Finally, a new solid fraction dependent gel strength model is obtained for shut in and restart of waxy crude oil pipelines.     

Slurries and emulsions of waxy and heavy crude oils for pipeline transportation of crude oil

The high viscosity of many asphaltic crude oils and the high pour points of many waxy crude oils present significant problems in their transportation over long distances by pipeline and tanker. While heating the oils and insulating the pipelines will help alleviate the problem, there is danger associated with an extended shutdown of flow and either congealing or solidification of the oil. A possible solution which we have studied in the laboratory is the emulsification or dispersion of the oil in water or brine so that shear takes place in the continuous aqueous phase rather than the oil droplets or particles.Synthetic waxy crude oils were prepared by dissolving paraffin wax in white mineral oil at slightly elevated temperatures and then measuring the pour point. One containing 30% wax had a pour point of 43°C and was selected for preparations of the dispersions. This was emulsified in water at a temperature higher than the pour point by using a suitable surfactant as an emulsifying agent. Rheological properties were measured at various temperatures and are reported in the paper. The method shows great promise for use in countries such as China which produce significant quantities of waxy crude oil and have seasonal temperatures significantly lower than the pour point of the crude oil.     

Study on the Inherent Factors Affecting the Modification Effect of EVA on Waxy Crude Oils and the Mechanism of Pour Point Depression

The Ar-Sai waxy crude oils were taken as the research objects, and the viscosity reduction rates and the condensation point reduction rates were regarded as the evaluation indexes, the impacts of components content of the crude oils and carbon number distribution of waxes on the modification effect of EVA-type pour point depressant (PPD) were analyzed by using gray correlation analysis method. The oil wax was acquired by applying the extraction and separation techniques initially, then the structures and the lattice parameters of wax crystals before and after adding the PPD were studied by polarized light microscopy observation and x-ray diffraction techniques, the mechanism of pour point depression was discussed at last. The results indicate that wax content and the low carbon number wax have significant influences on the modification effect of PPD, while the impact of high carbon number wax is relatively small. Co-crystallization is the main mechanism of pour point depression, nevertheless, the impacts of the asphaltenes, resins, solid particles, and light components of the crude oils on the modification effect of the PPD cannot be ignored.     

Submicron carbon-based hybrid nano-pour-point depressant with outstanding pour point depressant and excellent viscosity depressant

We have investigated the effective utilization potential of carbon nanomaterials in the field of pour point depressants, and reported three kind of carbon-based hybrid nano-pour-point depressants with different dimensions. In this paper, poly-α-olefins-acrylate high-carbon ester pour point depressant (PAA-18) was prepared by esterification and polymerization as the basic pour point depressant. Then, the basic pour point depressant PAA18 was modified by solvothermal method with graphene oxide (GO), carbon nanospheres (Cna) and carbon nanotubes (OCNTs). The morphology and structure of the composites were analyzed by SEM, FTIR and XRD. The results showed that PAA18 was successfully in situ polymerized on GO, Cna and OCNTs. We took the simulated oil as the experimental object, and evaluated its pour point, rheological properties and wax crystal morphology, and achieved excellent results. In the three carbon-based hybrid nano-pour-point depressants with different carbon contents, the oxidation carbon nanotubes composite pour point depressant (PAA18-1 % OCNTs) with carbon content of 1 % had the best pour point and viscosity reduction effect when the dosage was 1250 ppm, which could make the pour point of the simulated oil containing wax decrease by 16 °C. PAA18-1 % OCNTs reduced the pour point by 5 °C more than PAA18. This paper provides reference for the application of carbon nanomaterials in the field of pour point depressant.     

Effect of nanocomposite of attapulgite/EVA on flow behavior and wax crystallization of model oil

Nanocomposites of attapulgite (ATT)/ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) were prepared with organically modified ATT covering in EVA. Organically modified ATT was prepared using KH550 and organic acid. The effect of nano-hybrid on the flow behavior of model oil containing 15?wt% wax was evaluated. The wax crystallization and crystal morphology of the model oil at low temperature were observed by polarizing optical microscopy (POM). The results indicated that the nano-hybrid with long-chain organic acid-modified ATT exhibited a better effect compared with the nano-hybrid with short-chain organic acid-modified ATT, pure EVA. In addition, it is interesting to note that EVA (VA?=?32%)/stearic acid-modified ATT composite polymeric pour-point depressant (PPD) S-AtPPD(32) provided better cold-flow improvement for the model oil than EVA (VA?=?32%)-modified nano-SiO₂ composite PPD N-SiPPD (32) with a low dose, which resulted in a regular, bar-shaped, and uniform arrangement of wax morphologies. The pour point of the model oil was reduced from 30°C to ?1°C when doped at 200?ppm S-AtPPD(32).
