Gums and inorganic corrosion byproducts occurring in distilled petroleum fractions may be dispersed and resulting fouling controlled by adding to the petroleum distillate an effective dispersing amount of a monosubtituted alkylphenol polyethylenepolyamine-formaldehyde resin, such resins having a weight average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 10,000, and an alkyl substituent containing from about 4 to about 24 carbon atoms, which alkyl substituent may be a linear or branched.

Dispersion of gums and iron sulfide in hydrocarbon streams with alkyl

Asphaltenes may be dispersed in caustic treated petroleum crude oil, or in any fraction thereof by adding an effective dispersing amount of a mono or di substituted alkylphenol-formaldehyde resin and or a monosubstituted alkylphenol-polyethylenepolyamine-formaldehyde resin, such resins having a weight average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 20,000, and an alkyl substituent containing from about 4 to about 24 carbon atoms, which alkyl substituent may be linear or branched.
