Mercury in Oil and Gas - Consult Those in the Know

Founded in 1983, P S Analytical (PSA) (UK) has been at the forefront of trace mercury (Hg) determination for over 30 years. Understanding the fate of Hg in all aspects of oil and gas exploration, refining and production is vitally important, and a great deal of effort is spent on Hg removal technology. Mercury is known to cause failure of aluminium heat exchangers and poisoning of hydrogenation catalysts. The replacement of equipment, plant downtime and health and safety issues are of real concern to plant operators. PSA partners with many companies to monitor and help manage this Hg removal process. These partnerships, beginning at research bench, continue through to production, with PSA taking a pivotal role in ensuring successful removal technologies are deployed in the real world.

The range of PSA analysers covers all aspects of the monitoring and analysis of Hg, including laboratory instruments, on-line analysers for gases and liquids and solutions for speciation (fractionation) analysis and waste water systems associated with petrochemical processes.

Utilising Atomic Fluorescence as a means of detection PSA analysers provide excellent detection performance. With literally thousands of systems in the field today, and support networks in Europe, USA and SE Asia, PSA offers the ideal package of performance, reliability and support.
