Abstract
A method for installing a device into a crude oil service operation, the method may include installing the device into a section of the crude oil service operation, wherein the device comprises a surface comprising a Self-Assembled Monolayer of Phosphonate (SAMP) coating, and may also include contacting the surface with the contaminant, wherein the contaminant is selected from the group consisting of paraffins and asphaltenes. Various systems include one having a liquid environment of paraffins and asphaltene, and a surface residing within the environment comprising a Self-Assembled Monolayer of Phosphonate (SAMP) composition. Systems also include pipelines and vessels having an internal surface therein comprising a Self-Assembled Monolayer of Phosphonate (SAMP) composition, and with hydrocarbon liquids present in the pipeline or vessel.
