Obstructions identification in petroleum, petroleum derivatives and water transport pipes by means of a radiotracer
Palavras-chave:
radiotracer, pipelines, obstruction, oil, waterResumo
The proposal of this work is the use of radiotracer to study of the flow profile of oil in our experimental pipelines and the establishment of a methodology that allows the identification of an obstruction points inside pipeline. The study is based upon the characterization of flow profile using the residence time curves of a 82Br injected as a pulse and recorded by scintillation detectors positioned externally to the pipe and identify of patterns of an obstruction that have been caused in the pipelines.
