NGL Mercury Removal
NGL Mercury Removal
(OP)
DOes anyone know of other technologies for mercury removal other than adsorption. We are looking to install mercury removal equipment after an NGL liquid feed dehydrator and before the de-ethaniser tower. The design conditions are roughly:
Flow = 300m3/h
Pressure= 30-35barg
Temperature= 25-38deg.C
Mercury load= 400ppb (w)
Water content= dew point -40deg.C (<1ppm)
H2S content = 35-50ppm
I have no previous knowledge of mercury removal techniques so really need to find
1. What is industry practice
2. Any proven novel designs.
3. Which companies have proven track record (ideally UK based)
Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

RE: NGL Mercury Removal
We are supplying the Mercury Removal package for the Buzzard Field Offshore UK we are also UK based and manufacture in the UK (one of few) so if you would like to contact me maybe we can help
Basically the system works like this, you have a big vessel (or duty standby) filled with catalyst/adsorpant followed by duty/standby filter vessels (to catch any rubbish (bits of catalyst, nuts and bolts etc) that make it through)
You size the mercury vessels so that they will take out enough mercury until you can shut down and change the catalyst or change over vessels if you have two, this will depend on the make of catalyst you select loading in gas etc
