Monitoring mercury content in flue gases is becoming increasingly important. In the USA new regulations will come into effect in 2016, which could become a model for the entire EU. The total mercury analyzer in our portfolio was conceived as a standardized solution for continuous mercury monitoring: sample taking, sample preparation, and gas analysis that is automated and reliable.
HM-1400 TRX is a measuring system for fully-automatic and continuous mercury analysis in flue gas stacks gas by measuring mercury vapor (without wet chemistry). The system uses the extractive measuring principle and includes sampling probe and sampling line. The HM-1400 TRX monitors not only the performance of the mercury separators by measuring the total mercury concentration, but also reports and registers (also online) any violation of the high limits. As a result it is often possible to intervene directly in the process of the plant to be monitored and thus ensure reliable compliance with the specified limit values.
