Sažetak
Air monitoring is frequently required at natural gas plant sites because of the potential for release of airborne contaminants and in response to regulatory compliance and/or community issues. An adequate monitoring, similar to the program designed and applied at INA-Naftaplin's process plant is essential for evaluation of working environment condition. It extends to the whole eco-system in order to scan and determine the extent of mercury influence, but also helps in organization and preparation activities in the process itself. Namely, results of accurate monitoring serve as an early warning, showing possible functional or process damage that could have an adverse effect on installation and/or equipment performance, resulting finally with hazard to working and living environment. This paper deals with the results covering the measurement of low level mercury content in ambient air surrounding the operating process plant. During several years of continuous metering at INA-Naftaplin's natural gas field Molve (5 wells + Gas treatment Plant), under defined meteorological conditions, the profile and dynamics of distribution of ambient air mercury pollution during observed time were taken, i.e. the actual concentration at the investigated locations had been measured.
