Development of a system for automated control of oil transportation in the Arctic region to prevent the formation of paraffin deposits in pipelines
The paper introduces a unique methodology of preventing and controlling the formation of paraffin deposits in oil pipelines, which is a matter of urgency in regions with negative temperatures, including the Arctic regions. The paper presents the configuration and specific parameters of the developed...
