Each solution is inserted into theautomatic apparatus, and titrated with cetane until flocculationof asphaltenes is detected by the optical probe. The first twosolution

27、s are titrated with cetane in coarse determinations inwhich the flocculation ratio is decreased in 5 % steps. Thecoarse determinations help to establish suitable starting valuesfor the fine determinations, in which the flocculation ratio isdecreased in 1 % steps. The four flocculation ratios at crit

28、icaldilution, measured during the fine determinations, are used tocalculate the maximum flocculation ratio of the samplesasphaltenes and the peptizing power of the samples oilmedium.5.

29、aining residual mate-rial. The asphaltenes are usually present in colloidalsuspensions, but they may agglomerate and flocculate if thesuspension of asphaltene molecules is disturbed through excessstress or incompatibility. This test method provides compat-ibility parameters, which can be used to ass

30、ess stability reserveand compatibility.5.2 A blend is considered stable when the blends peptizingpower is higher than the blends maximum flocculation ratio;3,4both of them can be calculated using empirical blend rules.Refineries and terminal owners can prevent the flocculation ofasphaltenes due to i
