SUPER HIGH FREQUENCY (SHF) EQUIPMENT

SUPER HIGH FREQUENCY (SHF) EQUIPMENT, Science and Technology field dealing with study and use of electromagnetic oscillations of waves within SHF range (300 MHz — 300 GHz). Between 1977–82, the BSU developed: an electromagnetic well separator (F.L.Sayakhov, M.A.Fatykhov, V.P.Dyblenko et al.) to extract high‑viscosity, paraffin and bitumen oil from the reservoir, to decompose gas‑hydrate and to melt paraffin; in 1978–84 — a resonance SHF electromagnetic dehydrator (F.L.Sayakhov, V.S.Khakimov et al.) to destruct stable highly watered oil emulsions; in 1989, together with USPTU (F.L.Sayakhov, Yu.V.Antipin, N.Sh.Imashev et al.) — electromagnetic SHF analyser to determine the efficiency of optically transparent solvents and inhibitors of bitumen/tar/paraffin deposits (integrated in Ishimbaineft, Krasnoholmskneft, Tuimazyneft and other oil & gas production companies); in the 1990s, in BSPU, in cooperation with USPTU (R.G.Abdeyev, R.I.Saitov) — a series of unified SHF instruments to control moisture in materials of the agro‑industrial group (Bashkir Biochemical Production Group, Bashkhlebptitseprom Company, etc); in 1998– 2008 in the USPTU Sterlitamak branch (I.H.Bikbulatov, N.S.Shulayev, R.R.Daminov), NIIreaktiv (D.L.Rahmankulov) — a catalytic SHF reactor for endothermic heterophase reactions to prevent atmosphere contamination with harmful products of fuel combustion (at the Sintez­Kauchuk plant) and to obtain ketones of monomers through dehydration of butenes, decomposition of calcium carbonate and synthesis of haem‑dichlorcyclopropanes.
