Strategies for accurate and representative determination of mercury partitioning throughout a facility should be project goal specific. Factors include budget, process conditions, data end use, as well as operational requirements of the facility. PMG's state of the art equipment and expertise allow for the most accurate and representative mercury partitioning model possible.
PMG provides highly experienced mercury assessment teams, equipped with state-of-the-art patented sampling and analysis technology to plan and execute comprehensive sampling and analysis programs. Our sampling and analysis approach (technology and methods) provides the most representative, high quality data to support the evaluation of mitigation needs for Health and Safety, Environmental Compliance and Process Equipment and Facilities.
The decontamination of process equipment and piping is often required for decommissioning (compliance with policy and regulatory requirements) or to minimize occupational exposure during facility repairs and maintenance. Effective management of mercury is critical for safe execution of decommissioning work.
Mercury is emitted to the atmosphere both naturally and anthropogenically. Anthropogenic sources include coal fired power plants, mining facilities, mining/oil and gas activity, and waste incineration. Natural sources include volcanoes, geothermal springs and geological deposits. Derivation of the atmospheric mercury budget requires emissions monitoring. Determination of the fate of these emissions to the atmosphere and assessment of environmental impact requires atmospheric deposition monitoring.
PMG is routinely engaged with operators all over the world for support with unique projects and development of cost-effective technologies for managing mercury contamination in oil and gas. Research facilities in the US, Australia, Indonesia and Thailand allow for mobilization and execution of the work.
Trace mercury detection capability is key for assessing the extent of mercury contamination in process fluids or in oil and gas equipment. We go to great lengths to ensure data quality and representativeness in our analytical facilities in the US and Australia where trace mercury sampling & analysis methods are employed.
Mercury monitoring (short term or long term) is a key component for evaluating the extent of mercury contamination. Once Operators understand the level of contamination, mitigation plans can follow.
PMG is capable of managing waste disposal safely and in accordance with local regulations as well as the Basel Convention (international treaty designed to reduce movements of hazardous waste between nations) where applicable. We work directly with Operators to execute the most environmentally friendly and cost effective solutions.
Business is about people. The health, safety, and well-being of people comes first. We do not claim to have any magic pills. However, we do bring patented technologies and an abundance of technical expertise to the table to address the most complex of mercury related challenges.
