NextPrevious Description of Work Experimental studies of the effect on oil product characteristics when high DRA rates are added. –laboratory tests and analysis to determine how long - chain polymers can be broken Large scale experimental studies of the efficiency of long chain polymers on pipeline oil transportation systems with low/high DRA rates. To obtain a model of how the polymers behave and how the injection rate affects the operation. To establish a methodology for the use of polymers, considering specific instrumentation and computer aided design programs. Database design and manteinance with the results of the tests.

NextPrevious Technological Implementation Plan The Technological Implementation Plan (TIP) is a specification for the exploitation of the results of the project. It is concerned with the exploitable potential we have generated and how we plan to realise that potential. It is to ensure that the maximum number of tangible and intangible results become available. The Commission's monitoring and evaluation of the exploitation phase of your project will be based on the TIP so it is an important planning document, not just a deliverable. A good TIP is the best way to demonstrate to the Commission the value of the results. It is an active document that can be completed at the start of the project and updated at mid-term and at project completion.

NextPrevious Technological Implementation Plan 1.- Overview and description of all project and results (Publishable). It will be used to document the results in CORDIS. 2. -Description of the intentions for dissemination and use by each partner (Confidential) 3.- Search for collaboration through Commission services (Optional, Publishable) 4.- Assessment of the European interests (Publishable). Co- ordinator to explain the interest for the European Union of the achieved results

NextPrevious Conclusions Expected results: *reduction of more than 25 % in the energy required for ton-km of the base products. *increase in the capacity of more than 30 % in terms of ton-km. Reduction of the price of energy: this will contribute towards the competitiveness of the oil pipeline partners. An important social benefit can be obtained combating the saturated European road and highway system. EXIT
