Abstract
Mercury is very often removed as an impurity and environment pollutant from processing fluid gas streams by adsorption on a fixed bed. Considering the ecological and technological problems related to the presence of mercury in natural gas, INA-Naftaplin has erected at the gas treatment plant Molve (Croatia) processing units that insure complete mercury removal. This chapter deals with the results of 3 years’ experience in practical field application, showing activated carbon mercury removal from natural gas.
