Management of Mercury containing Wastes from Oil and Gas Operation in Indonesia
Rasio Ridho SaniDirector of Bureau for Planning and International Cooperation
Ministry of the Environment Republic of Indonesia
Mercury is classified as hazardous substance with limited use
Mercury containing waste classified as hazardous waste
Hazardous waste management requires special license
Prohibition to import hazardous wastes to the Country
Some of gas reservoirs in Indonesia contain mercury
Gas field operation can produce waste containing mercury
Elemental mercury could be produced as by product
There are no mercury recovery facilities in Indonesia: generators are responsible for their waste management

Mercury Waste Management Practices
As there are no mercury recovery facilities in the country, spent catalyst exported to the other countries
Elemental Mercury as a by product :• Laboratory and research• Previously: sent to Chlor Alkali Industry
Temporary Storage of Waste Containing Mercury
Special technical guidelines for hazardous waste temporary storage
Licensing system for hazardous wastes temporary storage

IV. Conclusion•Oil and Gas Industry is a source of by-product elemental mercury and mercury containing waste
•Temporary storage is feasible with certain technical requirements
•Mercury waste management should be part of the national hazardous waste management plan
•Extended producer’s responsibility is central to Indonesia’s approach in the management of surplus mercury both as potential commodity and as waste
•Common responsibility and cooperation among stakeholders is imperative for mercury management.
