Mercury is present in some oilfield produced waters and refinery wastewater at low concentrations, but above regulatory discharge limits. The solubility of mercury is governed by elemental mercury (~60 ppb at 25°C). If water is oxidized, the concentration of mercury exceeds that predicted for the solubility of elemental mercury due to the formation of ionic species. Mercury in produced water, refinery wastewater and glycol solutions may be removed to trace concentrations by adsorption, filtration and precipitation processes. Results of studies of mercury removal from petroleum industry waters are provided. Removal of mercury from water prior to discharge into the environment reduces the risk of contamination and biotic methylation of mercury.
