For mercury removal units utilising absorbent technology, two key benefits are realised when utilising high performance materials: minimised vessel size and maximised bed life. To achieve these benefits, advanced materials technologies are employed for increased capacity, rapid kinetics, and greater resistance to contaminants. Ultimately, this allows an operator to reduce CAPEX, save space, minimise weight, reduce maintenance costs associated with changeouts, and realise the lowest life-cycle cost solution. This paper presents the latest developments in PURASPECTM mercury removal technology and demonstrates how these advances save gas processors up front and in the long run in the aim of protecting downstream equipment from Hg contamination.
