A Mini-Review of Nanocomposite Pour Point Depressants
Waxy crude oil transported with a polymeric pour point depressant (PPD) is an effective technology to improve the economics and safety of pipeline transport. According to recent studies, nanoparticles grafted with traditional PPD molecules perform better than pure traditional polymers. Nanocomposites could act as the center of a heterogeneous wax chain nucleation, featuring the property of dispersing wax crystal particles and making wax crystals more compact thus improving the low-temperature fluidity of waxy crude oil. This paper summarizes the recent work on PPDs using various kinds of polymers and nanomaterials for the preparation of nanocomposites over the last few years, with a focus on reviewing the mechanism of action of different types of nanomaterials. Finally, future challenges ahead for nanocomposite PPD research are stated.
