Study regarding the Determination of the Flammability Characteristics of the Residue Collected from Natural Gas Transport

In the natural gas pipelines, so-called black powder is formed. It can take many forms, including wet tarred substance or fine dry powder. Black occurs in both newer and older pipelines. This disrupt distribution of either by interrupting to customer reducing quality products delivered customers. residue, damage operations that place transport such as reduced inspection accuracy, erosion control valve flow. addition, this also presents a health hazard due fact it may contain pyrophoric sulphides, which require specific handling storage procedures. solid contaminant found systems around world. Drilling mud, dust, construction dirt, sand, iron oxide, carbonate, sulfides, welding slag, salt crystals, grease, corrosion inhibitors, other organic materials contribute formation presence called paper were analyzed flammability properties collected from transmission pipelines an operator Romania.
