Important Ideas On Paraffin Removal

By Ronald Wallace


When pipelines that crude oil passes through are blocked, there is a likelihood that massive losses will be realized because not the required amount will be passing through the lines at a time. Paraffin removal ensure there is a smooth flow all time round. No approach is globally accepted on how to remove it, but different ideas have been put in place with various degrees of success.

Some methods had to be done away with because they were not efficient enough. Professionals are still trying to come up with one process that will be accepted the world over as the primary method of successful cleaning. It has been hard for many because devising a way that will break down the different compositions at various levels has not been easy. Producers have to result to using more than two methods which in itself might be expensive and counter-productive. Some possible ways used and have been there for a long time have been discussed here.

You can mechanically remove the wax deposits by the utilization of a wire-line. This is one of the earliest methods that have been applied for a long time. The advantage of this approach is that while the paraffin is being removed, the production of oil can continue because it does not interfere with the process. This kind of cleaning must be done from time to time so that no other labor intensive methods will need for the same.

Another approach that has been used for a long time is subjecting the paraffin deposits too high temperatures. This ensures that it has melted and flown out of the pipes. The temperatures have to be high throughout the whole well so that it does not get a way of solidifying again at some other place.

Different people have also used heat and water. The problem arises when it becomes hard to spread an equal amount of heat through the whole pipeline so that the removal is uniform. This method usually works in tandem with the mechanical means to ensure lasting results.

Depending on the blockage level of pipes, you can decide to use chemical remediation technique and prevention of wax deposition. Chemical solvents can be very, but they have to be used alongside other methods such as mechanical rather than a standalone solution.

Natural products that are easily decomposed can be used to separate the fuel wax into different sections that come together to form it. When this is done successfully, it will be hard for the wax to form on the walls of the pipelines.

The above are some methods that you can consider applying, but it this has to be noted so that each method will have different, degree of success. Some methods have to be combined with others so that maximum results can be realized. Their costs are different; someone has to choose an approach that they know will be friendly to their pockets.
