This dissertation is devoted to two areas in fuel resources transporting and processing: one is to enhance the understanding of wax deposition behavior in subsea oil transportation pipelines and the other is to make biofuels from microalgae while also producing nutraceuticals as high-value byproducts. The first half of dissertation clarified important aspects of deposition behaviors that were ???previously overlooked or misinterpreted. Another piece of the dissertation focused on developing novel methods to promote the production of biofuels and nutraceuticals from microalgae.
