Resumo: | |||||||||||||
The present work describes a detailed experimental study on the processes
of formation, growth, and removal of paraffin deposits in a loop-type test
section, emphasizing the analysis of cooling time and heating temperature
to promote removal. The research aims to characterize the efficiency of the
removal process by heating, essential for maintaining the operability of oil
transportation lines. The experimental results, obtained for four different test
configurations, are analyzed in terms of deposit thickness and removal time.
The images captured during the experiments provided a clear visualization
of the deposition and removal processes. The comparison between
experimental data and numerical simulations validates the effectiveness of
simulations in predicting operational problems. This work demonstrates the
importance of integrating controlled experiments and numerical simulations
to optimize industrial processes, especially in the oil industry, where efficient
removal of paraffin deposits is crucial. The study concludes by highlighting
the need for future research to explore different cooling rates, deposit
displacement speeds, and gravitational effects, aiming to further improve
paraffin removal techniques and ensure safer and more efficient operations.
