Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and octadecyl trimethylammonium chloride (OTAC) were evaluated as clean flow improvers for crude oil. The results showed that all of them have some effect on the viscosity of crude oil in a certain temperature range, and can depress the pour point, among which CTAC is the most potent one. The viscosity was reduced to below 540 mPa s under different concentration at 35 degrees C by CTAC, and it can depress the pour points by 7.5 degrees C with the concentration of 0.03%. DSC analysis and microscopic morphology analysis discovered the interaction of CTAC and saturated hydrocarbon component of the crude oil, which can reduce the wax peak temperature and wax precipitation point of crude oil. CTAC may precipitate and pack with the long-chain alkane to form the crystal nucleus, while the cationic part and the corresponding Cl- anion can act as a wax crystal modifier and block the wax crystal to grow up, thereby reduce the risk to form three-dimensional networks.
