Abstract
A method and system for removing mercury and hydrocarbons from an aqueous system wherein the aqueous system is passed successively through three filtration stages. The first filtration stage comprises an absorption media to reduce or remove mercury and hydrocarbons, the second filtration stage comprises a salt modified reticulated granular filtration media to reduce or remove mercury and hydrocarbons, and the third filtration stage uses a conductive matrix to further reduce residual mercury.
