Pipeline Services




Pipelines that carry fluids that contain mercury can become contaminated over time and thus require special attention. The interactions of mercury with pipe surfaces affects worker health and safety strategies and impacts operational procedures. MTS provides advice and strategies for management of pipelines that may contain mercury.

• Welding mercury contaminated steel piping
• Reactions of mercury with pipe surfaces
• Impact of mercury on pipeline corrosion and corrosion inhibition
• Distribution of mercury and mercury compounds in multi-phase flow
• Prediction of mercury scavenging in new pipelines
• Decommissioning contaminated lines
• Pigging procedures and managing pigging waste
• Cleaning lines to remove mercury
