Research of Thermal Insulation Control for Underwater Storage of High Pour Point Crude Oil

Abstract:

Underwater oil storage is a new offshore oil drilling technique developed in recent years. Because of the high pour point, crude oil condensation will affect its storage and transportation. In order to solve this problem, a set of thermal insulation control system for underwater oil storage was designed in this paper. Flexible isolation cloth with low thermal conductivity and insulation coatings on the inwall of oil tanks are applied to reduce temperature loss, while mamdani fuzzy controller was used to control the heating of hot water and to solve nonlinear and large time delay and inertia of the object so as to maintain the stable oil temperature.
