Influence of Ultrasound and Heat Treatment on the Rheological Properties of Ust-Tegusskoe Oil

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

The effect of ultrasound and heat treatment on the dynamic viscosity, pour point, density, acidity, interphase tension at the water interface, and chemical composition of Ust-Tegusskoe oil is investigated. It was revealed that the plastic viscosity of the treated oil was diminished by a factor of 1.7 and the pour point by 32°C after ultrasonic treatment. Maximum depression of the pour point is obtained after ultrasonic treatment at 80°C and pressure of 1 atm in a helium medium.
