Prof. Dr. Raheq Ismail Ibrahim and Manal Kadhim Odeh from the Department of Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Technology and in association with six Hawra Sultan Salman Baghdad received a patent from the Ministry of Planning, the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control for (design and manufacture of low-cost system to absorb the wave Pressure in pipelines carrying Iraqi crude oil))

The idea is to reduce and absorb the pressure wave at the beginning and end of operation of crude oil pumps and derivatives in pipes, where this pressure wave causes the crack and collapse of the pipe over time. The proposed (innovative) system aims to protect and prolong the life of these pipes by designing, manufacturing and testing a low-cost system that disperses and reduces the pressure wave generated and terminated without affecting the flow of crude oil inside the pipe. The system consists mainly of a filter (wave absorption filter) is a tube with a diameter (0.5, 1 and 2 Ang), where three diameters and a length of 18 cm were tested in which glass and ceramic gaskets of different diameters act as a porous material that absorbs the kinetic energy of the fluid particles The oil of the filter has faded the pressure wave it was carrying.
