According to a study from Edmonton, Canada, "The mass fraction of resins in asphaltone-rich aggregates, present in erude oils, and the physics and chemistry associated with them are poorly defined because of the variability of the definitions of asphaltenes and resins but remain a subject of significant interest to practitioners who model asphaltene behavior in hydrocarbon resources. In this contribution, the mass fraction of resins in pentane-asphaltene-rich aggregates in nanofiltered Athabasca bitumen and Maya crude oil samples is evaluated using a mass balance model and data regression fits to saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA.) analyses of permeate ...
