Profile

“Providing Solution to Contaminants” Innovation, dynamism, ethics and teamwork are the fundamental virtues that make up the bed rock on which HG Solution Sdn Bhd (HGS) builds around. Finding its roots as a company that specifically provides solutions to “mercury contaminants” produced along upstream and downstream oil and gas processing facilities, HGS today is recognized globally as the preferred service provider for managing not only mercury but a variety of contaminants that is produced in the oil and gas and petrochemical industry.

At HGS, we constantly pioneer and developed new techniques to manage and mitigate occupational contaminants especially mercury while exploring new technologies in other specialized areas either independently or in collaboration with other recognized research institutions.Powered by technical personnel who are both skilled and experienced in upstream and downstream oil and gas activities;

• Consultancy and services in HAZMAT handling for mercury contaminants.
• Mercury assessment, monitoring and baseline study for upstream and downstream Oil and Gas process facilities.
• Mercury Removal Unit (MRU) Profiling Study.
• Full (complete removal) & surface (temporary handling) Surface Decontamination for Tools and Equipment
• Awareness training in areas related to mercury, waste management and other toxic chemicals
• Laboratory testing for water and hydrocarbon samples.
• Supply analytical and monitoring equipment for mercury (laboratory and site application).
• Specialty chemical supply – Mercury Decon Chemical (HGS308), Rust Remover (EvapoRust), Spillwash Emulsifier (CX-101) & Boiler Cleaner (KNJ-60)

As company registered and licensed with Petroliam National Berhad (PETRONAS), our mission is to deliver quality service, every time by understanding your organizational needs to ensure a contaminant free working environment.

With a highly skilled and dedicated team producing consistent quality services,HGS provides consultancy and decontamination services for mercury HAZMAT Handling for maintenance, turnaround and shutdown activities for the Oil and Gas industry or any other industry where mercury management is needed.HG Solution is moving forward with its growing involvement in mercury related projects in Malaysia and around the world. Our objectives are to ensure a safe working environment and to minimize to as low as reasonably possible any cross contamination when dealing with mercury or its compounds.

HOW IT'S DONE?
We determine critical representative sampling points (bleed points) for a wide range of facilities. This includes offshore installation platforms down to downstream petrochemical plants. We then perform an analysis to determine the speciation i.e. types of mercury, and compute the total mercury concentration present strictly adhering to internationally recognized standards and protocols.Utilizing state of the art mercury analysis equipment, we deliver highly accurate results in all our undertaking tasks. By doing so, potential mercury accumulation and distribution patterns in oil and gas processing facilities as well as other relevant industries can be reliably projected.

Mercury removal units (MRU) are used to reduce the amount of total mercury in natural gas or hydrocarbon condensate to as low as reasonably possible. From an engineering point of view, this is t ensure the amount of mercury entering the downstream plants such as gas processing and LNG plants are at a level that will not damage certain plant equipments. Apart from “self generated amalgam corrosion”, mercury attacks may causeLiquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) to most aluminum based materials. This may result in the failure of these equipments subsequently leading to the lost of millions of dollars or even human lives. With this in mind, the constant exercise to ensure any installed MRU is functioning as intended is carried out periodically.

At HG Solution Sdn Bhd we use a unique approach to evaluate the performance of any installed MRU. The study can be conducted on a “live” plant without the need to interfere with major process activities. We perform “high pressure” sampling and evaluate the results onsite so that our clients get immediate results of the performance of their installed MRU. The study is done to determine whether the bed is still in optimum condition or to identify if a “breakthrough” or “channeling” has occurred. The study period may range from 4 to 7 working days, depending on the size, complexity and other critical attributes of an MRU

At HG Solution, we have the ability to perform surface decontamination. With our in-house expertise, we have locally formulated a "state of the art" decontamination chemical, HGS308, which is proven to efficiently suppress the level of mercury vapor thus allowing temporary safe handling of contaminated items. HGS308 is a surfactant based chemical, which makes the cleaning more effective and can be also used to perform decontamination on "contaminated" personnel.

As a company specialized in mercury and other contaminants, HG Solution provides mercury awareness training and comprehensive training for “Mercury Hazmat Teams”.The training provided covers Basic Mercury Awareness Training for any personnel or crew involved in operation, turnaround and the daily maintenance of process equipment that has been identified to have possible mercury accumulation. Comprehensive training with hands-on practical exercise for mercury Hazmat Handling is provided for the formation of an in-house Mercury Hazmat Team to tackle day to day task also as a refresher course.

With state of the art equipment for mercury analysis, we conduct mercury analysis in all types of samples such as crude, condensate, water, gas and sludge/ solid. The laboratory which is located in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor and Paka, Terengganu is in the process to procure more analysis equipment for mercury analysis.Currently our laboratory is capable to conduct Total Mercury and Mercury Grouping (Elemental, Organic & Inorganic) for water, hydrocarbon, gas and solid (sludge, soil, sand etc) samples. Mercury speciation currently can only be conducted for condensate and gas samples. Analysis of total mercury is based UOP938 standard method and sampling is based on ASTM D6350.HG Solution's laboratory has obtained “ISO 17025 Laboratory Accreditation” to ensure the service provided is up to international standards.

At HG Solution Sdn Bhd, we also supply an array of equipment for the management and mitigation of mercury. This includes site application such as portable mercury analyzers and personal monitoring devices (for monitoring exposure levels). We also cater to the needs of laboratory applications for complex mercury analysis in water and hydrocarbon samples.
