straight or branched chain hydrocarbons with single bonded carbon atoms. Describes most oils.

n: The process that superpolymer is destroied by the microbe and macromolecule fractures to micromolecule.

breaking down alkanes by bacterial action. Common by psedomonis and ultramonis bacteria and other bacterial strains that digest parts of the crude oil structures. Useful for remediating oil spills or tank bottom residuals.

a traditional crude oil, containing alkanes (straight carbon chains) of C5 to C30+ liquids.

the liquids, generally straight chain alkanes in the C2 to C6+ range, than can condense from gas when the temperature and pressure drop sufficiently low.

n: a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having the formula CnH2n+2 (e.g., methane, CH4;ethane, C2H6). Heavier paraffin hydrocarbons (i.e., C18H38) form a wax-like substance that is called paraffin. These heavier paraffins often accumulate on the walls of tubing and other production equipment, restricting or stopping the flow of the desirable lighter paraffins.

normal or straight carbon chain alkanes with carbon chain lengths of C18+. The alkanes in this range solidify at temperatures from 80oF to over 200oF. Paraffin is amorphous but may appear to have structure in slow growth examples.

n: a gas that is suitable as feed to a gas processing plant and from which products can be extracted.

methane gas containing other low carbon chain alkanes such as ethane, propane and butane.
