DOSING DEVICE AND PROCEDURE FOR PLUGGING BRANCHES IN FLUID TRANSPORT CONDUITS BASED ON SAID EQUIPMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a device and a process for reducing losses of fluid in transport conduits, caused by the installation of branches connected directly to conduits. The process comprises injecting in the current of the fluid geometric elements of diverse materials and forms, in particular spheres, with densities similar to that of the fluid, by means of a special doser; the circulation of said elements through the fluid, and because of hydraulic effects, the obstruction of the branches preventing or hindering extraction of the product; and recovery of the geometric elements at the end of the conduit by using a filter as a trap.
