Waste
from
the
pigging
runs
can
either
be
re-injected
or
sent
to
THIS
facilities
for
processing
and
disposal.
By
using
chemical
additives
and
mechanical
processing
the
contaminants,
including
mercury
can
be
removed
from
waste
where
possible
so
as
the
majority
of
the
waste
can
be
stabilised
and
disposed
of
as
non-hazardous
material.
This
technology
has
been
trialled
with
a
major
operator
and
has
been
successful
at
removing
mercury
down
to
<20ppm
from
contaminated
pipeline
sections
in
both
lab
scale
(1
samples)
and
bench
scale
(1m
x
14
samples)
testing.
The
process
is
due
to
be
tested
in
a
large
scale
in
Q3
2016
before
being
trialled
in
the
field.
