Smart subsea maintenance: An integrated approach to wax and flange management

Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis
Wax crystallization in crude oil transportation channel occurs when wax temperature falls below the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT). This poses a critical flow assurance risk in the oil and gas industry with common consequences including restriction to ...

Age‐related arterial stiffness and cerebrovascular dysfunction in mice correlate with cognitive impairment but are not reduced with long‐term ALT‐711 treatment

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 12, June 2026.
Abstract Age‐related increases in large artery stiffness contribute to cerebrovascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment. Alagebrium Chloride (ALT‐711) is a collagen crosslink breaker that reduces vascular stiffness. We hypothesized that long‐term treatment with ALT‐711 would reverse age‐related large artery stiffness, thereby preserving cerebral ...

Investigating Non-Uniformity of Wax Appearance Temperature of Crude Oil in Nigeria

A significant sample of crude oil found in Niger Delta have between moderate to high wax content which makes flow process sometimes difficult at low temperatures due to the formation of gel-like structure which increases viscosity of the fluid.

Evaluation of Wax Deposition and Its Control During Production of Alaska North Slope Oils [PDF]

, 2008
Due to increasing oil demand, oil companies are moving into arctic environments and deep-water areas for oil production. In these regions of lower temperatures, wax deposits begin to form when the temperature in the wellbore falls below wax appearance ...

Effect of Asphaltenes and Asphaltene Dispersants on Wax Precipitation and Treatment

Colloids and Interfaces
A detailed understanding of the interactions between wax and asphaltenes with other components of crude oils and the effect of treatments with paraffin inhibitors (PIs) and asphaltene dispersants (ADs), with a focus on identifying specific structure ...

Mapping Nanoscale Protein‐Corona Kinetics of DoE‐Optimized Perfluorocarbon Encapsulated‐PLGA Nanoparticles by In Situ, Time‐Resolved Synchrotron SAXS

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 May 2026.
A two‐phase workflow (OFAT screening followed by central composite design) maps how processing variables tune PFCE‐PLGA nanoparticle size, dispersity, surface charge, loading, and 19F‐MRI signal. In situ, time‐resolved synchrotron SAXS tracks albumin‐corona growth on intact dispersions and reveals PFCE‐dependent adsorption pathways.

Single‐Cell Metabolic Imaging and Digital Scoring of Fat Tissue Remodeling by Label‐Free Metabolic Microscopy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.
Mid‐infrared optoacoustic microscopy (MiROM) acquires lipid‐ and protein‐ associated vibrational contrast in intact fat tissue without dyes, preserving native tissue architecture. Through lateral and axial segmentation, MiROM tracks intrinsic intracellular changes during postnatal remodeling. A quantitative spatial analysis tool (Q‐SAT) maps white‐ and

Plant population effects on fiber hemp growth and yield in Southeastern United States

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has gained renewed interest in the United States as a bast fiber crop used in textiles, nonwovens, and composite materials. Region‐specific production practices are limited due to the crops relatively recent legal status.

An In-depth Experimental Study of Wax Deposition in Pipelines [PDF]

Shale oils are highly paraffinic and, consequently, can create wax deposits that foul pipelines during transportation. Several factors must be considered when designing pipelines or treatmentprograms that prevent wax deposition: including chemical ...

Risk Assessment of Asphaltene–Resin–Paraffin Deposition During Reservoir Cooling in the XIII Horizon of the Uzen Oil Field

Eng
This study presents a risk assessment of asphaltene–resin–paraffin deposition (ARPD) in the producing formations of the XIII reservoir unit of the Uzen oil field at a late stage of development. The crude oil is characterized by an extremely high paraffin
