- POWDERSOLV CLEANS IRON SULFIDE FOULED AMINE SYSTEM; FILTER CHANGES REDUCED 60%
A large oil and gas producer was experiencing underdeposit corrosion at their amine contact tower cooling fan. Cooling tubes were being taken out of service due to leaks. The MEA system was contaminated with iron sulfide debris resulting in higher than normal filter changes, dirty amine and pressure increase at reboiler... (Read All)
- POWDERSOLV MITIGATES BLACK POWDER PROBLEM SAVING OPERATOR $650K ANNUALLY
A large interstate gas pipeline operator had been experiencing high compressor maintenance and multiple monthly filter-set changes due to out-of-tariff gas. The problem was so severe that in some line segments filter-set changes were made twice monthly... (Read All)
- POWDERSOLV ELIMINATES FeS MAGNETIC DEBRIS MATRIX CAUSING INACCURATE MFL TOOL DATA AND HIGH COROSSION RATES
A leading global independent energy company was experiencing a dramatic increase in corrosion rates in a sour crude gathering and transportation system. Lines with no prior history of corrosion were experiencing failures after a series of MFL-type ILI tool runs. Additionally, verification digs revealed that pitting was worse than shown by ILI data. Pitting analysis confirmed SRB activity to be the main source with the current vendor�s biocide treatment regimen being ineffective in addressing the problem... (Read All)
- POWDERSOLV ELIMINATES IRON SULFIDE BUILDUP IN SLUG CATCHERS SAVING OPERATOR $180K+
A large gas gathering company plant was experiencing iron sulfide buildup in the inlet slug catchers due to field line pigging. The buildup was so sever the operator was manually cleaning each vessel every 6-months... (Read All)
- POWDERSOLV HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN ONLINE ELIMINATION OF IRON SULFIDE DEPOSITS
A large gas gathering company plant had ongoing problems with their final product stabilizers. Solids buildup on the heating tubes made it difficult to maintain the desired heat range for optimum polishing of the condensate. Stabilizers were being taken out of service every 6 months for manual cleaning which was time consuming and expensive. Condensate going to the finished condensate tank was contaminated with solids and the drain/blowdown lines had been plugged off for more than two years... (Read All)
- POWDERSOLV CLEANS SEPARATOR LINE PLUGGED FOR 11 YEARS (IN 10 MINUTES)
A large midstream energy company gas plant separator had the water phase 2� line fouled with pipeline rouge [iron sulfide] for 11 years. All attempts the operator made to unplug the line failed, so the vessel was used only as a 2-phase separator. Recently, the condensate line started developing flow problems... (Read All)
- POWDERSOLV ELIMINATES IRON SULFIDE BUILDUP IN FINISHED CONDENSATE TANK; $100K SAVED
A large gas gathering company was experiencing iron sulfide buildup in a plant�s finished condensate tank causing carry over into the finished condensate line. The high viscosity of these carry over solids caused plugging of the BS&W line during the operator�s attempts to lower the solids level... (Read All)
- POWDERSOLV ELIMATES BLACK POWDER; CONDENSATE SALES INCREASE $60K
The liquid separation vessels in a gas processing plant of a large gas gathering company were experiencing high levels of solids. Additionally, the liquid level equipment was rendered inoperable due to plugging of the fluid dump lines by the solids, forcing manual dumping of the separation vessels... (Read All)
- OIL LINE CONVERTED TO NATURAL GAS LINE
Houston Pipeline Company needed to prepare a 78-mile, 30-inch natural gas pipeline for inline inspection. The line had been installed in 1974 as oil transportation line and was converted in 1984 to a natural gas pipeline. The line had never been cleaned and had no history of maintenance pigging. Furthermore, the pipeline was characterized by numerous elevation changes, some quite severe... (Read All)
- SYNERGY REMOVES IRON SULFIDE/SALT DEPOSIT THAT PROVED TOO TOUGH FOR COMPETITION
A major gas company needed to clean 16 miles of 16� line prior to a scheduled inline inspection. A postcleaning gauge pig run showed the compettor had failed to clean the line using conventional chemistry and methodology. Deposits u to 6 inches thick remained in the line. They turned to Synergy for the solution... (Read All)
- SYNERGY REMOVES BLACK POWDER FROM VALVE TO SAVE PIPELINE COMPANY $100,000
A large pipeline company had a WKM gate power seal valve that would not travel to fully closed. From full open to full closed the valve should travel 31 3/4", but would only travel 27 7/8" and stop. The body bleed was blown with no success of valve body blowdown. This confirmed the valve was not closing... (Read All)
- BLACK POWDER BUILDUP PREVENTED TO OPTIMIZE OFFSHORE CORROSION PROGRAM
A large pipeline company was experiencing severe black powder buildup throughout 75 miles of an offshore gathering line in the Gulf of Mexico. The company was concerned about the effectiveness of their internal corrosion inhibition program and the maintenance of line efficiency... (Read All)
- SYNERGY REMOVES THICK IRON SULFIDE/SALT DEPOSIT FROM PIPELINE
A large gas company scheduled an inline inspection on a 90-mile section of 30" pipeline they operate in the Southwest. Excavation on a river crossing showed extreme iron sulfide/salt deposits up to 6 inches thick. Based on excavation downstream, the company believed the problem was limited to the length of the river bottom... (Read All)
- SYNERGY PREPARES FOR SMART PIG BY REMOVING DEPOSITS DRY PIGGING LEFT BEHIND
In preparation for a scheduled smart-pig run, a pipeline company had run 3 cleaning pigs, a gauge plate pig and a dummy tool through 35 miles of 12" pipeline in the Southwest. While they thought the line was clean, a pig run with a small amount of POWDERSOLV TM revealed a considerable amount of deposit remained... (Read All)
