Abstract
The vacuum distillate (375-500-degrees-C) of Bombay high crude oil is highly waxy in nature and exhibits non-NeWtonian flow at fairly high t emperature. Waxes have been separated from this broad fraction and its narrow 25-degrees-C cuts by solvent dewaxing. Changes in the rheologi cal properties of these fractions after removal of waxes have been det ermined. The dewaxed fractions have much lower pour point and wider Ne wtonian flow range compared to the whole fractions. The influence of s eparated wax at different concentration, on the cold flow properties o f dewaxed oil derived from the broad fraction has also been determined .
