Abstract
In connection with depleting light oil reserves, oil fields with an increased content of paraffin hydrocarbons and resinous-asphaltene components characterized by high density, viscosity and pour point values are increasingly being put into operation. Their extraction is accompanied by the formation of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits on the walls of technological equipment and, as a result, leads to additional material expenses associated with increased wear of equipment. The influence of the magnetic field on the structural, rheological and energy characteristics of two kinds of oil, differing from each other in composition, and their emulsions (10 wt. % water) was studied. After magnetic treatment, the component composition of the studied oil-containing systems changes. The effect of the magnetic field on low-paraffin, highly resinous oil is accompanied by an increase in viscosity within the whole temperature range. The viscosity of high-paraffin oil changes only slightly after processing, however, a decrease in the pour point is observed.
