Abstract
Thermal characteristics of eight crude oils and their treatment with a dditives were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ther momicroscopy, viscometer and pour point tester. Different additives we re found as more effective for different type of crude oils depending on the wax content. Crude oils showed a reduced pour point after treat ment with additives. Effects of different additives were also discusse d by analysing the DSC curves and thermomicroscopy result.
