The disadvantage lies in the need to have expensive equipment and high temperature and pressure. Microemulsification involves mixing oil/fats into alcohol (solvent) and surfactant until the required viscosity is obtained. The most significant advantage of this conversion process is that it is pollutant...
The variable with the greatest impact on the corrosion rate is the temperature, with the corrosion rate increasing with temperature. This is due to the decrease in the viscosity of the crude oil, which allows a greater rate of diffusion of the particles of the reactive species present in the...
