Reclaimed Oil Tank Separator
Black Powder wear contamination in reclaimed oil was gravity fed to the high pressure flash tanks, the de-mister sections of compressors and finally the coalescer.

Clean the Black Powder™ contamination from a 12,000 BBL crude oil slop tank with an estimated contamination level of 1 pound of Black Powder per barrel of oil. The Black Powder contamination analysis identified primarily iron oxides and iron sulfides ranging with an average particles size of 1.82 microns and range from 0.06 to 50.60 (see analysis).
The plant inlet conventional filters allow Black Powder contamination to enter the facility and in turn, damage pump and compression equipment. During the loading process, small quantities of Black Powder plug off the basket screens…
The quality of crude oil feedstock is an ongoing issue for refiners. A common form of particulate contamination found in crude is Black Powder…
The customer’s 200,000 mmcf/d gas plant is delivering plant-recovered stabilized condensate to a nearby receiving terminal/pipeline system at rates of 5,000 bopd.
Crude oil received by barge and pipeline is highly contaminated with Black Powder contamination. It enters the crude unit and causes (1) increased energy use to heat the crude feedstock, (2) lower product recovery efficiency…
