Study on Transportation Technology of Dehydrate and Viscosity Reduction for High Pour Point and Viscous Crude Oil with Microwave Radiation Technique

There are limitations currently in the pipe transportation for high pour point oil and high viscous oil.The microwave radiation may raise thermal effect and ant-thermal effect. The paper introduces the mechanism that microwave radiation makes the pour point and viscous crude oil contained water change. The author considers that the microwave radiation can be used to change the property of the oil, so as to lessen pour point and viscosity of crude oil and to dehydrate, and that efficient and economic purification and transportation for the oil could be realized.
