Optimum valve design selection to achieve tight shut-off isolation in black powder-generated gas processes
1/9/2026
Gas processing systems are similar to any hazardous or flammable systems where tight shut-off isolation requirements are intolerable and compulsory for safe, reliable and profitable assets. This article will focus on best practices and the optimum selection to achieve positive isolation for gas processing isolation valves in a black powder (BP) environment or similar process-generated debris. It will also detail recommended operation techniques to ensure a tight shut-off condition for critical isolation valves with the presence of such byproduct. Source and impact. BP is a continually generated scale (FIG. 1 and TABLE 1) in gas processing systems that can be caused by one of the following
