Reducing the losses of high-viscos oils fluidity of by applying the method of depressants introduction
Currently, the volume of high-viscous oilsproduction and transportation has significantly increased all over the world. Paraffinic oils transportation is associated with a significant decrease in pressure and an increase of energy costs. To solve this problem, the following technologies can be used: heating, dilution, creation of a coaxial flow, emulsification. The paper presents one of the most effective technologies for improving the transportation of heavy oils - the introduction of chemical reagents. The reduction of hydraulic losses during the transportation of heavy oil by chemical additives occurs through the use of two main technologies: the introduction of depressants and the addition of anti-turbulent additives.
