Investigation of wax precipitation in RAWAT new pipeline

Abstract

Pipelines are considered one of the best ways to transport oil and petroleum products, but they face some difficulties and problems during operation. One of the problems facing oil transportation through pipelines is the deposition of wax inside the pipeline, which leads to the difficulty of transportation. This study focused on building a model for wax deposition in the RAWAT-ALJABLINE pipeline by using the (Olga) and (PIPESIM) program, where a region where the wax deposits as a result of low temperature was assumed.
