Cubic-Plus-Association Equation of State for Asphaltene Precipitation in Live Oils
We apply a cubic-plus-association equation of state (CPA-EOS) to study the asphaltene precipitation in live oils from temperature, pressure, and composition effects. The live oils are characterized by considering the pure components, the pseudo-hydrocarbon components, and the hydrocarbon residue. The hydrocarbon residue is further divided into the “heavy” component and asphaltenes. The asphalte...
متن کاملModeling Asphaltene Precipitation by n-Alkanes from Heavy Oils and Bitumens Using Cubic-Plus-Association Equation of State
We apply a cubic-plus-association equation of state to study the asphaltene precipitation from n-alkane diluted model solutions (asphalteneþtoluene), and heavy oils and bitumens. Heavy oils and bitumens are characterized in terms of saturates, aromatics/resins, and asphaltenes; n-alkanes are treated independently. The asphaltene precipitation is modeled as liquid-liquid phase equilibrium. The s...
متن کاملModeling of Biodiesel Multicomponent Systems with the Cubic-Plus-Association (CPA) Equation of State
To supply biodiesel with the quality levels required by the standards for alternative fuels, the separation and purification units are extremely important in the biodiesel production plants. The correct knowledge and description of the phase equilibria in systems composed by transesterification products is essential for a correct operation and optimization of the purification process. For that ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Reversibility of Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition for an Iranian Crude Oil
In this work, the precipitation and re-dissolution of asphaltenes were studied for an Iranian relatively heavy crude oil. A series of experiments were designed and carried out to quantitatively examine the reversibility of asphaltenes precipitation upon the change in the solvent concentration along with the temperature. n-Heptane was used as the precipitant, and a temperature range of 30 to...
متن کاملAsphaltene Precipitation in Crude Oils: Theory and Experiments
The precipitation of asphaltenes in two Mexican crude oils was measured using a combination of high-pressure isothermal expansion and atmospheric titration with nalkanes. Experiments were carried out from the liveand tank-oil type of samples of the same crude oils. For the oils investigated, compositional data, precipitation phase diagrams, and bubble point pressures are reported. A theoretical...
