Process for transporting a multiphase system through a pipeline

摘要

The invention relates to a process for transporting a multiphase system through a pipeline. An oil-soluble polymer with a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of at most 1,500 kg/mol has been added to the system. Preferably the process is applied for the transport of a natural gas-condensate system or for the transport of a petroleum-gas system. The polymer may be an olefin polymer which contains monomer units of ethylene and at least one alpha olefin or an olefin polymer which contains monomer units of ethylene, at lease one alpha olefin and at least one non-conjugated polyene.
