All of the organic fouling in petroleum refinery crude preheat train is caused by insoluble asphaltenes and the effect of bulk temperature on solubility of asphaltenes is somewhat uncertain. In this work, the effect of bulk temperature on flocculation and precipitation of asphaltenes in crude oil re...
