The determination of water content in crude oil is important for oil transportation, refining, and trade. However, the sensitivity and accuracy of the conventional azeotropic distillation (AD) method are inadequate. Karl Fischer titration methods may…
Scope: The procedures in this test method cover the determination of organic chloride (above 1 g/g organically-bound chlorine) in crude oils, using either distillation and sodium biphenyl reduction, distillation and microcoulometry, or distillation…

We present a direct method for evaluating the effectiveness of inhibitors on asphaltene deposition from crude oil based on a Kretschmann configuration surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. We demonstrate that shifts in the peak SPR wavelength…
Crude oils produced from different reservoirs in the world have very different chemical compositions and physicochemical properties. Naphthenic acids and sulphur content can affect the properties and impact the processing and refining of oils.…
