Case Studies

Black powder contamination is endemic in natural gas production and transmission. Persistent particulate contamination of natural gas streams include acid gas induced corrosion of carbon steel piping, formation contamination such as coal-seam dust, as well as molecular sieve and catalyst dust. If the contaminants are not removed, they will foul amine systems, foul glycol systems, plug [...]

Fluid quality of gasoline and diesel during custody transfer is critical. The hydrocarbon product can contain particulate and emulsified aqueous contaminants. There are a number of operating issues (haze, particulate contamination, copper strip corrosion tests, filter and salt replacement costs) that are often symptomatically addressed. The root causes of all these issues can often be traced [...]
