The deposition of solids from two-phase waxy mixtures (comprising a multicomponent paraffinic wax dissolved in a multicomponent solvent and water) was studied under turbulent flow conditions in a flow-loop apparatus, incorporating a cocurrent double-pipe heat exchanger. The deposition experiments were performed with 6 mass % wax solutions, containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 vol % water, at different flow rates over 5600 < Re < 25 300, and at different hot and cold stream temperatures. In the bench-scale apparatus, the deposit was formed rapidly such that a thermal steady state was attained within 10–20 min in all experiments. The water content of the deposit was found to be not related to the water content of the waxy mixture. The deposit mass was found to decrease with an increase in Re, the waxy mixture temperature, and/or the coolant temperature. The deposit mass also increased as the water content of the waxy mixture was increased to about 10 vol % and decreased thereafter. The deposition data, a...
