في صناعة النفط والغاز، يشير مصطلح "خلط أثناء التدفق" (OTF) إلى تقنية لإضافة مواد مباشرة إلى تيار سائل متدفق دون الحاجة إلى إعادة التدوير. تُستخدم هذه الطريقة بشكل متكرر لتعزيز الإنتاج وتخفيف المخاطر أو تحسين خصائص السوائل.
كيف يعمل:
عادةً ما ينطوي خلط OTF على حقن مادة مضافة محددة، مثل مثبط كيميائي أو مبيد حيوي أو مزيل مستحلب، مباشرة في خط الأنابيب الذي يحمل السائل. يتم اختيار نقطة الحقن بشكل استراتيجي لضمان الخلط والتوزيع المناسبين للمادة المضافة في جميع أنحاء التيار.

Scenario:
You are an engineer working on a new oil production project. The project involves transporting crude oil through a long pipeline. To prevent hydrate formation in the pipeline, you need to inject an anti-hydrate agent using an OTF mixing system.
Task:
1. **Flow Rate and Pressure:** The injection point should be located where the flow rate and pressure are sufficient to ensure proper mixing of the anti-hydrate agent with the oil stream. If the flow rate is too low, the agent may not distribute evenly, leading to ineffective hydrate prevention. High pressure could cause the agent to be injected improperly or even damage the system. 2. **Turbulence Level:** The injection point should be positioned where there is sufficient turbulence in the pipeline to facilitate adequate mixing of the anti-hydrate agent with the oil. Turbulence helps distribute the agent throughout the flowing stream, ensuring its effectiveness. 3. **Distance to the Hydrate Formation Zone:** The injection point should be positioned upstream of the anticipated hydrate formation zone to allow sufficient time for the anti-hydrate agent to react with the oil and prevent hydrate formation. This ensures that the agent is present before the critical zone where hydrate formation is most likely to occur.
