Abstract:

The work examined technologies for increasing the efficiency of cleaning the internal cavity of main oil pipelines. The purpose of this work is to analyze existing methods for increasing the efficiency of cleaning the internal cavity of a main oil pipeline and to calculate economic efficiency. The work also examined various methods for cleaning main oil pipelines and selected the mechanical cleaning method as the most effective and economically feasible. The productivity of the oil pipeline section as a result of operations to clean the internal cavity gave a positive economic result and after calculations it was revealed that 219 thousand rubles would be required to carry out these technological operations.

Keywords: cleaning device, scraper, cleaning from paraffin, oil pipeline, main oil pipeline, internal cavity of the oil pipeline, cleaning, paraffin.
