The article discusses problems encountered in the carriage of viscous petroleum products at low temperatures and proposes solutions.
Aim: Construction of a mathematical model describing the business process; solution of the constructed problem using simulation.
Materials and Methods: The position of probability theory and mathematical statistics; the development of a mathematical model; the development of a simulation model using the Business Studio platform.
Results: mathematical and simulation models of the discharge of viscous petroleum products have been constructed showing possibilities of reducing the discharge time; the work of the enterprise was analyzed with additional equipment.
Conclusion: a function is defined, which returns the quantity of unloaded wagons, steam and electricity consumption; simulations are carried out.
