Research and Application of Segmented Online Electromagnetic Heating Wax Cleaning System for Oil Pipeline
The conventional wax cleaning method for oil pipelines has problems such as high manual labor intensity,low efficiency,frequent operations,and high wax cleaning costs.In combination with the development needs of intelligent oil fields,a segmented online electromagnetic heating wax cleaning system for oil pipelines is developed.The composition of the system and the design scheme of the electromagnetic heating control are emphasized,and a segmented online electromagnetic heating wax cleaning method is provided.Compared with external heat tracing,the system saves at least 15%energy,and achieves no needs for medication,no needs for hot washing,and no need for pipe cleaning and wax cleaning operations of the scraper.The daily throughput and pumping unit efficiency are improved,and crude oil extraction costs is saved.
