Abstract

The effect of an inhibitory composition based on an amphiphilic polymer of polyacrylate and stearic acid on the composition of paraffinic hydrocarbons in asphalt–resin–paraffin deposits (ARPDs) of high-paraffin oil was studied. It was shown that the molecular weight distributions of paraffinic hydrocarbons in the ARPDs were different upon the addition of the amphiphilic polymer and the composition to oil. The action of the polymer led to a decrease in the total concentration of C16–C21 hydrocarbons and an increase in the fraction of high-molecular-weight C22–C34 hydrocarbons. On the contrary, the use of stearic acid as a surfactant in the composition decreased the amount of high-molecular-weight paraffin hydrocarbons.
