المستخلص: This work presents an experimental study of the drag - reduction performance of two water - soluble polymers, Polyacrylamide(PAAM) as flexible, linear synthetic polymer and Xanthan Gum(XG) as a rigid polysaccharide from natural resources. The flow loop used consisted of 0.5 O.D. inch straight pipe with a test section of 3 m length. A 0.5 inch O.D. vertical tubing with elbows was also included to compare the drag - reduction behavior between both tubing configurations. Various concentrations of polymeric additive and water flow rates were tested. The results show that the drag - reduction in vertical piping are significantly lower than in straight type for both polymer type. The dragreduction efficiency of Xanthan Gum agent is much lower than polyacrylamide. Higher concentrations of XG about 150 ppm is required to get exactable drag - reduction performance about 12.84% in the straight pipe. While about 40.3% drag - reduction was achieved with about 50 ppm Polyacrylamide with the same conditions. Moreover, the drag - reduction efficiency of XG can be improved by mixing with Polyacrylamide agent at a given conditions.Part of the experimental work was devoted to study the performance of Polyacrylamide as drag - reducing agent with the existence of small amounts of sodium chloride acts as an inhibitor to the ability of the additive, resulting in lower drag - reduction probably due to collapse of PAAM at more compact structure with the addition of sodium chloride as strong ionic salt.Polyacrylamide and Xanthan Gum additive undergo undesirable mechanical degradation with increasing of circulation time, leading to lower drag - reduction performance. The molecular degradation is likely to occur at low additive concentrations and low turbulence flow, in vertical piping, since the polymeric additives are exposed to shear stresses.Further attempt was done in present investigation to find correlations for accurately predicting drag - reduction characteristics of drag - reducing agents, used in published works. A published time scale hypothesis for prediction of drag - reduction values, the friction factor data as a function of the polymer concentration, shear stress, Reynolds number, pipe diameter. The experimental friction factor results were taken from a published work for gas oil with polyisobutylenes. Good agreement between measured and predicted friction factor. Further attempt was made to correlate the mechanical degradation ability by modifying the Kouraush, Williams and Watt (KWW) equation. The experimental data were taken from a published work for Polyethylene Oxide. The modified equation was found to fit experimental data better than the original KWW equation.

المستخلص: عمليات الحفر تنتج كميات كبيرة من الماء الملوث يعرف بالماء المنتج او الماء المنتج من البئر. مختبريا تم التحقق باستخدام Autoclave بحجم لتر واحد مصنوع من مادة الصلب stainless steel لمعالجة الماء المنتج من حقول الرميلة الشمالية والزبير الخطوة الاولى استخدمت م | The oil drilling operations create large quantities of contaminated water known as “Produced Water” (PW), or water that is produced from the well. An experimental investigation was conducted using 1litter stainless steel autoclave to treat the oily water produced from North Rumaila and Zubair oil fields. The first approach was a pretreatment to remove solid particles using sedimentation with and without flocculation. The second approach included studied the effect of pH, pressure, temperature, salinity, operation time, outlet time and RPM. The third approach was investigate the effect of the surfactants (detergents and alcohol) to reduce surface tension, finally, was addition of some sorbents like polypropylene, polyethylene, used plastic and sawdust.The ranges of salinity, pH, pressure and temperature were selected according to the PW conditions which out from dehydrator and desalter (80000 ppm, 6, 3bar and 60°C respectively), the RPM of mixer was selected to satisfy laminar flow, while the time of operation and outlet product represented the minimum residence time in batch reactor and its discharge to choose the minimum design cost. The results showed that the best conditions were : - Pressure =1 bar, temperature =45°C, mixer speed =300 RPM, treating time =15 min and skim time starting =5 minutes. Best additives to reduce surface tension : ethanol volume = 0.05vol %, powder detergent = 400 mg/litter and liquid detergent volume = 0.03vol%. Best sorbents : Sawdust amount addition = 2.5 gm, polypropylene = 4 gm, polyethylene = 3 gm and used plastic = 2.5 gm The results showed that using polymers made a great change in the oil recovery percent (all the oil was recovered).
