输油管道清防蜡技术研究综述

产自我国的原油大多属于石蜡基原油,在输送过程中,原油中的蜡不断结晶析出,沉积在管道内壁上,结蜡层厚度逐渐增加,导致管道内的有效通流截面减小,使输油过程变得困难,这不仅会降低输量,而且严重时还会堵塞管道,存在一定的安全隐患。在本文中,根据影响蜡沉积的因素,并结合油田清防蜡措施,总结了几种有关输油管道的清、防蜡技术。

Research on Paraffin Removal and Control Techniques for Oil Pipelines

Most of the crude oil produced in China is paraffin-base d oil. In its transportation process, wax in the crude oil crystallizes and separates out from the crude oil continuously, and deposits on the pipe wall, the wax layer thickness is increasing gradually, which reduce the pipe effective flowing cross-section, so that the oil transportation process becomes difficult, which will not only reduce the transportation quantity, but also stop up the pipe when it’s serious, so there are some security risks. In this paper, based on the factors affecting the wax deposition, combined with measures of paraffin removal and control in the oil field, several techniques of paraffin removal and control for the crude oil pipeline were summed up.
