Composition and Properties of Deposits Formed on the Internal Surface of Oil Pipelines

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

The composition and physicochemical properties of oil deposits formed in pipelines during the transport of oil from Azerbaijani fields were studied by atomic absorption, chromatography-mass spectrometry, gamma spectrometry, and scanning electron microscopy methods. Up to 20% of the deposits were shown to be composed of paraffins, tars, and other heavy oil fractions, while asphaltenes and mechanical impurities (iron, sulfur, manganese, calcium, and silicon compounds) comprise about 80%. The contents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and radionuclides are within permissible levels, while the content of some heavy metals exceeds the permissible level by a factor of 1000. These data should be used in the management of waste products in petroleum pipelines.
