HIGH-POWER
ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED TOOL APPLIED TO THE PREVENTION OF SCALE FORMATION IN PIPELINES AND EQUIPMENT IN THE OIL AND
GAS INDUSTRY. The present invention relates to a tool applied to the prevention of scale formation through the phenomenon of
cavitation produced in the fluid due to the action of
ultrasound.
Cavitation and agitation promote the acceleration of chemical reactions and in turn modify the way crystals evolve – size and shape – keeping them suspended in the fluid, thus hindering their incrustation in pipelines and equipment. The tool consists of a
cavitation chamber, Langevin-type ultrasonic transducers positioned parallel to the pipeline by a
transducer fixing
system, which allows for easy attachment and replacement of the transducers, adequate
energy transfer, and a reduction in the overall
diameter of the device, enabling its installation in
oil production wells with reduced diameters.High-power
ultrasound-assisted tool applied to the prevention of
fouling in pipelines and equipment in the oil and
gas industry, characterized by comprising a
cavitation chamber (1), ultrasonic transducers (2),
transducer attachment (3), flanged joint (4) and threaded joint (5).
