When Exploration, Production, Process, Transport and Service companies encounter Mercury, and its compounds, within the industrial environment the issues this contaminant poses may not be well known or fully understood, especially in regard to their specific scope(s) or process(es).

It is now more commonly known that Mercury, and its compounds, pose a threat for environmental release or emission, personal safety and of course asset integrity but the challenge is to be able to understand exactly why and in what way, so that it can it be prevented, reduced or eliminated.
