DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPLICATION FOR THE THERMAL PROCESSING OF OIL SLIME IN THE INDUSTRIAL OIL AND GAS SECTOR

Abstract

The production activities of oil refineries and oil and gas-producing enterprises inevitably have an anthropogenic impact on the environment, so environmental issues and the rational use of natural resources are important. The most dangerous pollutants of all components in the natural environment are oil waste, and one of the most effective methods of processing is heat treatment. The task was set to neutralize oil waste by thermal processing of oil slime to an environmentally safe level. The studies are carried out by methods of mathematical and numerical simulation of thermal processing, the results of which describe changes in temperature and mass of the stream over time. Extensive calculations with varying current operating and other parameters allow us to optimize the flow of heat and mass transfer during the thermal processing of oil slime. Numerical modeling is implemented using the method of alternating directions in an implicit iterative scheme until a convergence condition is met. The purpose of this work is to create an application for solving research and practical problems of oil waste processing. The application used allows the solution of the problems of oil slime processing. With the help of color-animated illustrations and a graphical interface, it supports the visualization of the results obtained, and provides the possibility of interactive interaction with the user, while providing instant control of the results obtained for timely decision-making to prevent environmental pollution in the industrial oil gas sector.
