Abstract
The contamination due to black powder in gas stream has been a matter of great annoyance. At one of its oilfields, Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) experienced the occurrence of black powder in gas stream. Black powder occurrence causes operational, maintenance, HSE as well as integrity and reliability issues. It leads to various unwanted consequences like product contamination, production loss, economic loss, and sustainability concerns (e.g. due to flaring), for both the operators and the downstream customers. Various measures, that continue to evolve, are being adopted by the industry to handle the black powder challenge.
