Research of Application of Anti-Turbulent and Depressor Additives in Pipeline Transport of High Viscosity Oils

Abstract

The use of anti-turbulent and depressant additives makes it possible to increase the efficiency of oil pipelines transporting high-viscosity oil. In this method, the principle of increasing the efficiency of transportation is based on reducing the hydraulic resistance and increasing the fluidity of oil. The work carried out a theoretical study of the existing types of anti-turbulent and depressant additives. This article presents an experimental study of the effect of the MR 1088 depressant additive on an oil sample from the Usa – Ukhta main oil pipeline.
