Paper: Use of Chemical Dispersants to Control Paraffin Problems and a Method for Determining the Treatment Requirements

Paraffin problems can now be controlled economically by the use of a chemical dispersant. This paper reports on the progress made thus far with the use of a new chemical dispersant, available in four forms for field application ease; the location of certain major problem areas; and the various geographical locations where these new dispersants have been effectively used. Realizing one of the problems for making products of this nature work is precise field application; this paper also presents a scientific method for determining the treating requirements for two of the forms.
