Customer Challenges
- The customer operates a large gas central processing facility (CPF) in Algeria. Following start-up, the plant suffered process and equipment related challenges due to mercury induced liquid metal embrittlement (LME)
- The mercury content was higher than expected, exceeding the original facility design tolerances, and the CPF was subsequently shutdown after only one year of operation after the detection of high mercury levels in the export line. This significantly impacted on the customer’s export gas specification
- Several solutions are available in the market, however, Expro is prepared for fast deployment from its existing fleet of Mercury Removal Units (MRU) which boasts competitive deployment time, efficiency, and extensive operational experience over competitors
- The customer requested Expro mobilize two MRU trains on a fast-track basis to treat their produced gas and facilitate production on a low CAPEX basis
