Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

By chemical modification based on waste of polyolefins production, new reagents of complex action for oil production and transportation were developed.The structure of the obtained products was confirmed by H NMR and IR 1 spectroscopy.Developed reagents were tested as inhibitors of ARPD and depressants.The assay object was highly paraffinic Kumkol oil that was characterized by low content of sulfur and asphaltene components.The depressor activity of reagents was determined by standard ASTM D5853-09.The maximum decrease of the pour point and improvement of rheological properties was observed with the amount of the reagent 200-300 ppm; depression was 21°C.The effectiveness of inhibitors of ARPD was analyzed by the "Cold rod" method according to RD 39-3-1273-85.The results indicated sufficiently high inhibitory activity of reagent: the inhibition rate was 73% at joint heat treatment and entering additives into oil.With the use of the X-ray diffraction method, the effects of inhibitors on the structure of the samples of asphaltene deposits were controlled.It was revealed that the modified polyolefins were able to change the phase composition of deposits, thereby improving the rheological properties of oil.
