Hi, We're working on a project for mercury/arsenic removal from the condensate rundown line and we've identified and sourced a proprietary metal sulphide absorbent material to do the job.However the client wants the system on a temporary basis (approx 6 months) as it is inconclusive whether there will actually be any mercury/arsenic present. The approach is to lease/hire a pressure vessel for 6 months, which can be packed with the adsorbent material and used as a temporary fixed-bed reactor. Op pressure and temp is 10barg & 50 degC. They do not want to fabricate a vessel from scratch. Does anyone know of any vendors (preferably located in Asia-Pac region)that lease out pressure vessels? According to our internal mech engineer, pressure vessels are fabricated fit-for-purpose and I won't find any companies leasing them out.Advice and help appreciated.

What's the minimum acceptable volume needed?

Good luck,

After some thought and one phone call we did rent or lease/purchase some equipment, 3 glassed lined reactors. We ended up sending 2 back and purchasing one. If my recall is up to par I think we got them from someone like LCEC,

Not in your area but there should be able to find a a used equipment dealer in your specified area.
