Crude oil and the problem of wax deposition on pipeline systems during transportation: A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crude oil, the world’s major source of energy, is obtained from earth as a Newtonian fluid and needs to be transported refineries for further processing. Pipeline transport has proven most efficient, environmental-friendly cost effective all modes crude oil transportation subsea production sites. However formation deposition waxes (mainly paraffinic asphaltenic components) along pipelines remains one greatest flow assurance problem in petroleum industry. This aided by attainment wax appearance temperature (WAT), crude’s hydrocarbon contents rheological properties, conditions amongst others. The deposited clog pipeline, reduces diameter, converts behavior non-Newtonian, decreases throughput, causes more work on pumps other process equipment, increases energy consumption, ultimately raises thereby decreasing profits. It also leads several downtimes extreme cases can cause permanent shut down facilities. Several studies have been done understand nature various techniques solving this problem. paper takes critical look at reviews current state research into causative factors, mechanisms remediation methods including thermal, mechanical, biological chemical techniques. At end there conclusion use (microorganisms) advised herein.

Some oil refineries arrange low-fusion-point crude oil storage tanks and ones containing high-fusionpoint crude oil at two diverse locations. Refinery needs different pipeline to transport different fusion point oil, so, to transport diverse fusion point oil it needs two pipelines. Because of the constraints resulted from transporting high-fusion-point oil, to schedule such a system is very har...
