Following the mercury induced catastrophic failure of a heat exchanger at Skikda in
Algeria in 1957, the LNG industry had to move quickly to install mercury removal units (MRUs) prior to liquefaction.
At that time, the choice of absorbent was limited and MRUs had to be installed at the final stage of purification immediately prior to the cold box. This was not the best arrangement.
