Abstract: The present invention refers to a device with diametral magnetic arrays for installations in magnetic SUBs, aiming the remediation and mitigation of inorganic and organic scales in production columns. The proposed magnetic device meets several specific criteria based on the magnetohydrodynamic model (MHD). After applying the said device with the proposed magnetic field, an efficiency of the scale inhibition was experimentally observed through laboratory tests, obtained from the values of the masses encrusted in the walls of the experimental bench system in the laboratory, with respect to the application without magnetic field. The device described herein can be installed in any pipeline used to transport fluids, including underwater pipelines for oil wells. These fluids can be oils, lubricants, gases, steams, water, petroleum or liquids in general.

Abstract: The present invention addresses to a system that aims at reproducing situations close to those found in oil wells, in relation to the thermodynamic conditions (pressure and temperature), and the fluids present (by means of the chemical species involved), aiming at representing in a more realistic way the production scenarios to be faced. The main scope is to represent on a laboratory scale the phenomenon of depressurization with the release of carbon dioxide inducing the precipitation of calcite (calcium carbonate), the growth and agglomeration of inorganic crystals, and the phenomena of adhesion and scale on common metallic surfaces of elements of completion of oil wells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for salt precipitation and scaling tests, which comprises two reagent storage tanks (2, 3), a reagent mixing module (6), induction period measurement modules (7, 12), an ultrasound-assisted precipitation module (9) and a scaling module with heat exchanger (13). From the apparatus, it is possible to carry out tests with the purpose of investigating the influence of parameters such as flow rate, temperature and concentration on salt precipitation and scaling. It is further possible to carry out tests under the action of ultrasound, since it promotes acceleration of chemical reactions.
