Flo Wax Welcome

About FloWax

FloWax is a powerful modelling tool to estimate the deposition of waxes along pipe branches for multi- or single-phase flows in flow assurance and production applications. Based on the thermo-hydraulics modelling capabilities of Maximus and the accurate wax thermodynamics modelling capabilities of Multiflash, FloWax provides Flow Assurance and Production Engineers with:

• Accurate estimates of wax deposition location, thickness and volume along the pipeline
• Pressure and temperature of the bulk fluid
• Physical properties (density, speed, molecular weight, viscosity, holdup) of the gas, hydrocarbon liquid and aqueous phase
• Velocity profile evolution and pigging frequency
• Wax deposition over time in a pipe

In addition to the wide range of native flow correlations, FloWax has the possibility to also use advanced, mechanistic flow correlations such as OLGAS® (by SLB) and LedaPM® (by Kongsberg), which are considered industry standards in thermo-hydraulic simulations of multi-phase flows.
