APPLICATIONS

MERSORB^® mercury adsorbent has proven performance in many commercial applications requiring removal of mercury vapor to extremely low concentrations in air, hydrogen, and other gases. Typically, a gas contact time of 10 seconds is used in designing process systems with MERSORB^® adsorbent. MERSORB^® mercury adsorbent installations have demonstrated performance for reducing mercury concentrations to < 1 microgram Hg/Nm³ in both dry and water saturated gases, with appropriate gas contact times. Extensive technical data, adsorption design and field technical services are available.

CAUTION: Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air. Thus, an asphyxiation hazard exists inside enclosed spaces containing activated carbon. Use appropriate safety precautions when entering vessels or other enclosed spaces containing activated carbon.
