I am translating the following patent (or one almost identical, I wasn't given a reference and haven't checked if this is 100% the same)
http://ip.com/patfam/ja/46931211
This term turns up in one location in the document, where the evaluation method of the dispersibility of the precipitated wax in the fuel oil is described.
・析出ワックスの分散性：１００ｍＬメスシリンダーに燃料油を入れ、低温恒温槽で室温から１℃／時間の速度にて、－１０℃まで冷却を行い、－１０℃で保持したまま５時間静置した。その際の析出ワックスの分散性を次に示す基準に従って評価した。
○：ワックス分散層が８０％以上である。
△：ワックス分散層が６０％以上、８０％未満である。
×：ワックス分散層が３０％以上、６０％未満である。
I can only imagine that this is a typographical error for ワックス分散性, but I would like to know if anyone has any other oppinions on this.

wax dispersion layer
ワックス分散層is correct. I have just read the patent you are working on.
The test is done by filling a 100 mL cylinder with the test fuel oil and cooling to -10°C. Solubility of wax decreases and you will see precipitation of wax. The larger the volume of wax precipitation, the lower the dispersibility.
(good)=80 mL clear solution (i.e. wax dispersion layer), 20 mL wax
precipitate
(average)=dispersion layer is 60 mL~80 mL, the rest is wax precipitate
(inferior)=dispersion layer is 30 mL~60 mL, the rest is wax precipitate

Note from asker:
| This explanation is just what I needed, thank you so much! Just for my understanding, does it litterally separate out into "layers" with the clear solution (wax dispersion layer) separate from the max precipitate? (one above the other?) |

Comment: "Correct term with excellent explanation."

dispersed bed/dispersion layer
Firstly, dispersability appears to make the most sense contextually, but I thought I'd look it up anyway.
Would like to hear from others in terms of the context in which it is used, but it does seem that the term appears with relatively frequency when translated as either dispersed bed or dispersion layer, but I'm not sure which suits your context best. I would think it was "dispersion layer".
Now to hear from some subject matter experts on this!

Glad to see there was a response from an expert in the field! :)

| Thanks, funny enough, I did see the term on weblio, but couldn't understand how it would apply. Mr Tsunehiko gave a great explanation. |
