Abstract Dilution by either gasoline or kerosine proved more effective than heating or the addition of flow improving chemicals in studies of methods for improving pipeline flow of waxy crudes. Additionally, a computer program was developed that calculates the pressure-loss reduction resulting from the improved flow properties of the tested crudes regardless of the method used. This program led to the conclusion that dilution by gasoline is the best technique for one type of waxy crude represented by GPY-3, while heating is the best method for the other 2 crude types represented by M-96 and Khalda. Experiments testing the different dilution techniques are detailed.
AbstractList Dilution by either gasoline or kerosine proved more effective than heating or the addition of flow improving chemicals in studies of methods for improving pipeline flow of waxy crudes. Additionally, a computer program was developed that calculates the pressure-loss reduction resulting from the improved flow properties of the tested crudes regardless of the method used. This program led to the conclusion that dilution by gasoline is the best technique for one type of waxy crude represented by GPY-3, while heating is the best method for the other 2 crude types represented by M-96 and Khalda. Experiments testing the different dilution techniques are detailed.
In studies of methods for improving pipeline flow of waxy crudes, dilution by either gasoline or kerosene proved more effective than heating or the addition of flow improving chemicals. Gasoline proved the most effective diluent in the tests of three Egyptian crude oils. Another method - heating - also led to a significant improvement in the rheological properties of the tested crudes. Additionally, a computer program was developed that calculates the pressure-loss reduction resulting from the improved flow properties of the tested crudes regardless of the method used. This program led to the conclusion that dilution by gasoline is the best technique for one type of waxy crude represented by GPY-3, while heating is the best method for the other two crude types represented by M-96 and Khalda. Final selection of the suitable technique for a specific crude, however, must be decided not only on the basis of such technical considerations as are presented here, but also on the economics for each case. The paper describes the techniques; Casson equation; dilution; heating; chemical treatment; and affected pressure-loss.
