Prediction of Volumetric Properties and (Multi-) Phase Behaviour of Asphaltenic Crudes Prédiction des propriétés volumétriques et des équilibres de phases des bruts asphalténiques

Asphaltenes flocculation is described as a thermodynamic transition inducing the formation of a new liquid phase with a high asphaltenic content; this phase being the asphaltenic deposit. The thermodynamic model selected is the Peng-Robinson Equation of State associated with the Abdoul and Péneloux...
