TENORM primarily arises from the presence of radionuclides in the geological formations where hydrocarbons are extracted. These radionuclides include isotopes of uranium, thorium, and radium, which can be released during drilling, production, and processing operations. The levels of radioactivity in TENORM can vary widely depending on the location, geological composition, and specific activities involved in the oil and gas operations.
The potential health risks associated with TENORM arise from exposure to radiation emitted by the radioactive materials. Radioactive decay products, such as radon gas and its progeny, can be inhaled, leading to internal radiation exposure. External exposure can occur when workers come into contact with contaminated equipment or materials.
Safe handling, disposal, and monitoring of TENORM
Radioactivity levels in oil and gas facilities and the surrounding environment and identify areas requiring remediation or further control measures
Implementing radiation protection programs to minimize worker exposure through the use of personal protective equipment, monitoring devices, and safe work practices
Proper handling, storage, and disposal of TENORM waste to prevent environmental contamination and ensure long-term safety
Educating workers about the potential risks of TENORM and proper safety protocols to follow
Mercury can enter oil and gas streams through various sources, including reservoirs, natural gas fields, and industrial processes. The presence of mercury in hydrocarbon streams can be problematic due to its corrosive nature and its ability to form amalgams with metals, which can damage equipment and infrastructure. Additionally, mercury can vaporize under certain conditions and pose health risks to workers when inhaled.
Using specialized adsorbent materials to capture and remove mercury from hydrocarbon streams.
a liquid solvent, such as amines or sulfur-based compounds, is used to selectively absorb mercury from the hydrocarbon streams.
Mercuric sulfide to be used to convert elemental mercury into a less volatile form
Membrane filtration or coalescing filters will be used to physically remove solid mercury particulates from the hydrocarbon streams.
Chemical additives (oxidizing agents or chelating agents) to be injected into the hydrocarbon streams to react with and remove mercury contaminants.
These mercury removal services are often implemented at various stages including drilling operations, gas processing facilities, refineries, and storage facilities. The specific method chosen depends on factors such as the mercury concentration, the nature of the hydrocarbon stream, and the operational requirements of the facility.
