Abstract

In the oil and gas industry, asphalt and paraffin oil deposits generated in process equipment, tanks and pipelines are a major problem. Their accumulation in the flow section and tanks leads to a sharp decrease in the level of productivity of the entire system. Currently, many methods are used to delete asphalt-resin and paraffin oil deposits. These methods are mainly based on thermochemical methods, the use of which involves high costs and an increase in the level of danger of the works carried out. This paper discusses the ultrasonic effect on asphalt and paraffin oil deposits in order to melt them and, as a result, better removal. This method is sufficiently effective, safe, simple and environmentally friendly to be used in manufacturing processes.
