F-29 Characterization of HTRI Crude Oils Nos. 18, 19, and 20 and Fouling Deposits from Crude Oil No. 19
December 14, 2023
The chemical characterization tests used in the HTRI crude oil fouling research program were reviewed. Modifications to the current list of tests and new WRI characterization methods were recommended. These recommended methods were used to characterize HTRI crude oils Nos. 18, 19, and 20 and two fouling deposits from No. 19....

F-28 Mechanistic Investigation of Fouling of Heat Exchangers Caused by Asphaltene Deposition
September 18, 2023
A systematic investigation of crude oil properties and asphaltene behavior at high temperatures and pressures was performed to understand the occurrence and the magnitude of asphaltene-induced fouling in heat exchangers. The physico-chemical characterization of the oil samples used in this study included the application of a novel methodology to separate the...

F-27-TR HTRI Crude Oil Fouling Standard Evaluation Test Matrix
February 02, 2022
HTRI developed a standardized crude oil fouling test matrix that covers industry-relevant ranges of flow, bulk temperature, and wall temperature. The test matrix provides a more complete picture of a crude oil’s fouling behavior in the High Temperature Fouling Units (HTFUs). This report summarizes the design of the HTFUs, the identification...
