    Mercury Removal from Gas

    Mercury is a key contaminant and toxin that must be removed during natural gas production. Because mercury has a high vapor pressure, an appreciable quantity can be present in natural gas, causing liquid metal embrittlement, which can dangerously weaken alloys commonly used in gas production equipment. It can also directly impact the environment and human health.

Common Problems

Traditional mercury removal equipment relies on large beds of media treated with chemicals that trap mercury in a complexed state using absorption.

  • Absorption systems are often not effective because of interfacial tension issues
  • Liquid mercury can re-entrain while sitting on an absorbent surface
  • Equipment is very large and cumbersome
  • HSE of handling spent waste is difficult

Solutions

MYCELX has developed MERSEP, a unique mercury coalescing system. The system is completely unique, patented, and is superior to existing typical technologies in a number of ways.

Benefits

  • Effectively removes liquid mercury contamination
  • Increases value of end-product
  • Safeguards infrastructure
  • Enhances efficiency of downstream absorption technologies
  • Substantially reduces waste volume
  • Small footprint
