Establishment of Wax Deposition Index from Saturates, Aromatics, Resins, Asphaltenes AnalysisBy Nwachukwu A. N, Chukwu G A, Onwukwe S. I., Chukwu F
Abstract: Saturates, aromatics, resins, asphaltenes (SARA) analysis is one method of characterizing crude oils. It is versatile because it can apply to many components of the crude oil.
