Black Powder Solutions Inc. (BPS) designs and manufactures its patented Magnetic Separators to remove Black Powder™ contamination from liquids and gas, refined products, process fluids, water and other applications in all pipeline and facility applications to 95%+ efficiency. BPS also manufactures single magnetic element sample/test stations, where one/some of the following are required: Identifying the …
May 2020 This paper reviews many of the challenges that operators are faced with when using conventional surface and depth media filtration systems to remove particulate. It then introduces a cost effective and economic alternative – Magnetic Separation.*Cyclones are not discussed here because they are typically inefficient below 30 microns, and ineffective below 10 microns. …

Slash Filtration Costs and Improve Reliability December 2019 What is Black Powder contamination? Black Powder particulate contamination in gas and liquid hydrocarbons has significant financial and operating impacts on pipelines, facilities and product quality. It is present in all hydrocarbon systems, consists of ferrous and non ferrous particulate, typically with a primary iron sulfide and/or …
7 Ways Magnetic Separation is Slashing Filtration Costs and Improving Reliability Read More »
Black Powder Solutions’ Magnetic Separator systems capture Black Powder particulate contamination, which includes both ferrous and non-ferrous particles. It is well known that ferrous materials are attracted by magnetic forces; however, the capture of non ferrous particles by magnetic forces is less understood. Non-Ferrous particles are magnetically captured due to cross-contamination with ferrous particles. All …
