  Studies on Naturally Extracted Surfactant to Enhance Flow Properties of Crude Oil

  By Shirsendu Banerjee, Manoj Kumar, Irshad Ansari, Ajay Mandal, Tarun Kumar Naiya

  Abstract: Indian heavy crude oil sample from Gujarat was studied for improvement of properties such as pour point, wax crystal structure, particle size analysis and viscosity by addition of a novel surfactant extracted from a tropical Indian plant Sapindus mukorossi. Characterization was done to find the effect of surfactant addition on individual components of the crude oil such as saturates, asphaltenes, resins and aromatics. The objective was to increase the flowability …
