One of the featured topics of the Pipetech Summit was black powder (metal particles) found in pipe systems and challenges the pipe line operators and gas companies are facing with black powder in the their pipe systems.
Presentations were given by experts/scientists in the field of black powder and presentations on how black powder was effecting the reliabilty of the pipelines in many places in the world.
Black Powder was also the main reason for Psicon BV to participate in this summit as we have dedicated systems to remove black powder, infact we provide the worlds only dedicated black powder filter systems.
At the summit we showed a display of our line of our magnetic filtration solutions.
We also gave a formal presentation to all delegates on the use of magnetic filtration solutions to remove black powder from pipeline systems.
It was good to have in depth face to face discussions with on one hand the experts/scientist and on the other hand to talk to pipeline operators and gas companies. We knew black powder is a challenge these days but we had not idea how big the problem really is.
It was good to learn that pipeline operators and gas companies are really open and interested in the use of magnetic filters as obviously the commonly used cartridge and cyclone filters have strong limitations in black powder situations.
