A synergistic effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles and polyethylene butene improving the rheology of waxy crude oil
This research examined the use of 75 nm zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano ZnO) and polyethylene butene (PEB) to decrease the viscosity of Nigerian waxy crude oil. The rheology of the crude oil was assessed by measuring the viscosity and shear stress of samples containing PEB at 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 or 5000 ppm and nano ZnO at 1, 2, 3 or 4 wt% between 10 and 35 °C at shear rates from 1.7 to 1020 s−1. Rheological modeling indicated that a power law pseudoplastic model was the best fit for the experimental data, giving a regression coefficient of 0.99. The addition of these inhibitors induced Newtonian fluid behavior in the crude samples such that the shear stress-shear rate relationship plots were linear at all temperatures. The optimum concentrations of the inhibitors in this study were 2000 ppm PEB (providing a 33% viscosity reduction) and 1 wt% nano ZnO (providing a 26% viscosity reduction). A combination of these additives at these concentrations provided a synergistic effect and gave a greater viscosity reduction of 41%. This work demonstrates that a blend of ZnO nanoparticles and PEB can improve the flowability of waxy crude.
