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.
