Overview

Performance testing reveals maggot oil-derived PPD reduces pour point by 12°C, suggesting efficacy against wax deposition.

Key Points

  • PPD 2 reduced the pour point of crude oil by 12°C, improving flow and production efficiency.
  • PPD 2 contained 98.60% alkyl ester, outperforming PPD 1, which had 59.20% alkyl ester content.
  • Esterification was conducted using the reflux method with maggot oil and alcohols like methanol.
  • This research highlights the importance of PPDs in preventing wax deposition during crude oil transportation.
