During
crude oil exploitation and gathering and transportation,
wax precipitation prevention or
wax removal of an oil flowing channel is necessary for normal production of an
oil field. At present, methods for removing
wax mainly comprise the heating wax removing method, the mechanical wax removing method, the
chemical agent wax removing method, the hot water and light oil pipeline washing method and the like, all the methods are great in limitation, a large number of manpower and
material resources are needed, cost is high, the labor intensity is high, a large amount of energy is consumed, and the effective period is short. A novel electromagnetic anti-wax device is based on the electromagnetic anti-wax technique and is mainly composed of a main
machine and an auxiliary
machine, wherein a controller is arranged in the main
machine, a pulse
signal with a frequency changing continuously within a certain scanning cycle can be generated, the amplified pulse
signal is transmitted to the auxiliary machine through
bridge type power amplification and a
transmission cable, the current of a load coil is kept unchanged through
feedback control, the auxiliary machine is installed on an oil delivery pipeline, and oil is magnetized by flowing through the auxiliary machine. The electromagnetic anti-wax device is good in anti-wax effect, adaptable to various oil fields and oil qualities and low in
energy consumption, and energy is saved and the environment is protected due to the adoption of a purely physical method.
