✦ Synopsis

A predictive model to describe the thermodynamics of clathrate hydrate formation in anionic surfactant based w/o microemulsions is developed. The process of controlled hydrate formation leads to an in-situ manipulation of droplet size by crystallizing out part of the microaqueous phase. The feasibility of hydrate formation is dependent on the activity of water in the droplet, and the thermodynamics of the system hence serves to characterize the activity of the microaqueous phase.

Most crude oils contain high molecular weight components, which at low temperatures may precipitate as a wax phase. This may cause plugging of pipes and numerous other problems. This paper presents a solid-liquid equilibrium based model for the description of wax formation. The model for the Gibbs e
