AM-10-105 Mercury in Refinery Processes - PURASPECJMTM Purification Solutions

Description:

One of the new issues confronting refinery operators is the impact that mercury can have upon their operations. This contaminant is gaining a high profile at governmental levels and it is therefore increasingly important for refiners to understand the potential sources of mercury within refinery feedstocks, the fate and distribution of mercury within a typical refinery flowsheet and the technologies that are available to remove this contaminant in an environmentally sound manner. This paper will provide a context for the mercury issue, it will discuss the likely fate of mercury within refinery processes and it will describe Johnson Matthey Catalysts’ PURASPECJM technology that is a proven solution for mercury removal from a variety of intermediate and product streams.
