The paper discusses technical and economic aspects of technology used for transporting commercial heavy oil via trunk pipelines following its treatment with an ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic field (2450 MHz) as an alternative to preheating prior to pumping oils. According to a comparison of the life cycle costs (LCC) for these technologies, microwave treatment is preferable to “hot” pumping for ensuring the required oil transportation throughput. During the transportation of oil following microwave treatment, the decrease in operating costs associated with pumping and treatment/heating is explained in terms of a decrease in its viscosity due to thermolysis of heteroatomic high-molecular components and concomitant volumetric heating to a temperature close to the initial temperature of oil during “hot” pumping.

微波技术在干管泵送商业重油处理中的应用

该论文讨论了用于通过主干管道运输商业重油的技术的技术和经济方面，该技术在用超高频电磁场 (2450 MHz) 处理后作为泵油前预热的替代方案。根据这些技术的生命周期成本 (LCC) 的比较，微波处理比“热”泵送更可取，以确保所需的石油运输吞吐量。在微波处理后的石油运输过程中，与泵送和处理/加热相关的运行成本的降低可以解释为由于杂原子高分子组分的热解和伴随的体积加热至接近于“热”泵送期间油的初始温度。
