ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing the concentration of, e.g., wax, in a liquid admixture with, e.g., crude oil, comprising subjecting the liquid to cavitation such that temperatures, pressures and shear forces are produced in the liquid sufficient to induce cracking of the wax, but insufficient to induce significant decomposition of lower molecular weight components of the crude oil and continuing the method for a time sufficient to lower the concentration of the wax in the crude oil.
