Abstract: The aim of this research is to develop a Predictive model for wax deposition effect on concentration for corrosion of crude oil pipeline. Wax is one of the most common components in crude oil and generates corrosion inhibition by wax deposition or formation on the internal surface of the pipeline, reducing the corrosion. Waxy crudes characteristics vary from location to location. A flow loop was designed and developed to carry out series of experiment for the crude oil pipeline for the effect of wax deposit on CO2 corrosion. The linear polarization resistance technique was used to measure the corrosion rate in mils per year (mpy) against time (minutes) using MS1000...
