Abstract
A number of variations may include a product including a fluid additive including at least one asphaltene dispersant/inhibitor including a branched dendritic core and at least one carboxylic acid moiety.
Claims20
A product comprising:
- a fluid additive comprising at least one asphaltene dispersant/inhibitor, the fluid additive comprising a reaction product of a branched dendritic core and at least one carboxylic acid moiety.
A process comprising:
- providing a branched dendritic core comprising greater than or equal to about 16 terminal hydroxyl groups;
- providing at least one carboxylic acid moiety comprising from 6 to 40 carbon atoms;
- and,
- reacting the branched dendritic core with the carboxylic acid moiety to provide an asphaltene dispersant/inhibitor.
1 more element
A process comprising:
- providing at least one carboxylic acid moiety comprising from 6 to 40 carbon atoms;
- providing at least one spacer comprising at least one terminal hydroxyl group;
- reacting the spacer with the carboxylic acid moiety wherein the carboxylic acid moiety is esterified with the at least one terminal hydroxyl group of the spacer to form a hybrid carboxylic acid moiety;
- thereafter providing a branched dendritic core comprising greater than or equal to about 16 terminal hydroxyl groups;
- and
- reacting the branched dendritic core with at least one of the hybrid carboxylic acid moiety to provide an asphaltene dispersant/inhibitor.
