Technologies for Clearing Blockages in Pipelines Using Electric Fields

The project aims at developing innovative, energy-efficient methodologies—currently lacking in optimized pipeline management—for the electrohydrodynamic remediation and prevention of wax blockages in crude oil transport. Building on fundamental research demonstrating that electric fields can break down wax networks into low-viscosity fluids to restore flowability, the candidate will investigate the precise mechanisms governing electric field interactions with paraffinic microstructures.
