Oil and fuel
Crystallization is an important element in the field of oils and fuels.
When crystallization is desired, scientists need to optimize the process and give the desired outcome (such as purity, size distribution and form). When crystallization is unwanted, then investigations are based around understanding how crystallization happens and how to prevent it.
The study of inhibiting crystallization is of particular interest for oils and fuels, which need to remain as free-flowing liquids. This can be an issue as oils and fuels are made up of several different long chain hydrocarbons which have high crystallization temperatures, making transport and use challenging without the aid of solvents and additives. This is especially the case in new and alternative fuels, which are growing in use as the world looks to move away from traditional fuels and reduce emissions.
Technobis supports scientists in the field of oil and fuel development with the right techhnology to study crystallization and identify the best formulas for their products.
Understanding oil and fuel crystallization through automated solubility and MSZW analysis
The study of inhibiting crystallization is of high interest for oils and fuels, which need to remain as free-flowing liquids. Presented in this application note are several case studies where crystallization of fuels and oils have been investigated using a method developed with the Crystal16.
