Increasing Boiling Temperature

% of Mercury% of Crude Oil

Elemental mercury (Hg) has a high vapor pressure Unlike other “heavy” metals, mercury will distribute

into lighter products and gaseous streams

Mercury emissions into the environment have been highlighted by the United Nations Environmental programme (UNEP)

Agreement reached in 2009 to launch negotiations on an international mercury treaty

The profile of discharges of mercury from all sources appears to be sharply increasing

Exposure must be limited to conform with US legislated health limits

◦ Low-point drains

◦ Hot work on contaminated surfaces◦ Treatment & disposal of contaminated equipment

Future focus on consumer exposure to combusted fuels (cooking, transportation) ?

Discounted crude available to refineries which have a mercury treatment strategy in place

Asian Open-Spec Naphtha reveals potential value“Friday, Jun 26, 2009 :SINGAPORE (Dow Jones). Asian open-spec naphtha market participants said Friday they plan to test the mercury content of more grades to protect the interests of end-users.

Japanese and South Korean petrochemical producers, which are major receivers of open-spec naphtha, recently voiced concerns over high mercury content, considered a contaminant that can damage plants”.
