“…The use of mechanical removal can be very limited in the geometry of the applicable surface, while solvent soaking involves the use of aromatic solvents (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) that are toxic, environmentally unfriendly, and costly. Lastly, the effectiveness of asphaltene chemical inhibitors depends upon the chemical composition of the crude oil, which can be highly variable. − No single chemical inhibitor is universally effective across all types of crude oils. Consequently, it is imperative to seek innovative and more potent approaches to address the challenge of asphaltene deposition.…”
