Monitoring Mercury Levels in the Environment Utilising Laboratory and Process Instrumentation

For nearly 30 years P S Analytical (UK) has been developing Atomic Fluorescence instrumentation for both laboratory and process applications to determine mercury in its various species in gases, liquids and solids at ultra-low levels.

In the petrochemical industry mercury measurements are vital, since failure to detect the presence of mercury, even at low levels, has in the past led to catastrophic failures. PSA instrumentation routinely provides relevant data to define reliable removal strategies and create a safer environment. P S Analytical has played an active part in the development of ISO/CEN standards for these measurements. In order to ensure the validity of the data recorded, PSA has developed a specific calibration device that data obtained is fundamentally correct and fit for purpose. Tailoring instrumentation to customer requirements enables systems to meet the local and international required safety standards for deployment in hazardous areas on production sites.
