Abstract

The invention discloses a constant-pressure start method for a hot waxy crude oil pipeline. When a pipeline system stopping transport starts again, a standby pump is connected in series into the oil pipeline and located at the downstream part of a main oil transport pump; the oil pipeline is provided with a buffer tank at the upstream part of the main oil transport pump, a circulating pipeline is arranged between the outlet of the final-stage oil transport pump, namely, the standby pump and the inlet of the buffer tank, and a branch flow regulating valve is arranged on the circulating pipeline; the opening of the branch flow regulating valve is regulated according to the change of the outlet pressure of the final-stage oil transport pump, so that crude oil flow passing the circulating pipeline is controlled, and the crude oil pipeline starts at a constant high pressure. The process is improved with the standby pump, and constant high pressure of the outer transport pipeline is kept in a start process, so that the transport stopping risk of the outer transport pipeline due to too high thixotropic pressure of the hot waxy crude oil in the start process is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of crude oil pipeline transportation, in particular to a rapid and stable startup method of a hot waxy crude oil pipeline under constant pressure. Background technique [0002] At present, more than 80% of crude oil produced in China is waxy crude oil. As the domestic production of waxy crude oil continues to increase and the demand for energy continues to increase, the realization of the pipeline transportation process of waxy crude oil in terms of safe transportation, energy saving and consumption reduction is of great practical significance. [0003] Waxy crude oil is a non-Newtonian thixotropic fluid, which is characterized by high wax content, high freezing point, low density, poor fluidity, and the property that the apparent viscosity decreases with the extension of the shearing time. Therefore, in general, during the start-up stage of the pipeline transportation of waxy crude oil, the oil transfer pump exerts ...
