Investigation of application of anti-turbulent additive "M-FLOWTREAT" brand C on oil pipeline

[摘要] The paper presents studies of the application of the anti-turbulent additive (hereafter ATA) "M-FLOWTREAT", brand C, produced by Mirrico LLC (Russia) on the pressure oil pipeline. The authors carried out experimental studies. These studies were conducted in four stages. The tests were carried out at different concentrations (0...30 g/t) of the used additive. In the conditions of the existing oil pumping technology with the use of an additive, an increase in flow was achieved. The efficiencies of various concentrations of the test additive in the pipeline were determined. The authors also determined the possibility of stopping export pumps while preserving the transport of commercial oil. The possibility of reducing the working pressure at the outlet, as well as increasing the flow capacity of the pressure oil pipeline with the help of this additive, was confirmed.
