New Mercury Analyser for Coal-Fired Power Generators

Teledyne Leeman Labs (USA) announce the release the Hydra-C Mercury Appendix K Analyser, customized for the analytical demands of the coal-fired power industry. Coal-fired power plants introduce more mercury into the environment than any other man made resource. Environmental concerns have led these utilities to monitor mercury emission levels on a regular basis. One popular method of analysis employs specialised mercury sorbent traps. The Hydra-C Appendix K analyser is specifically designed for the analysis of the sorbent material contained

within the trap and with its large dynamic range, provides the ability to analyse both short term (Method 30B, RATA) and long-term (weekly monitoring) trap configurations.

The unit can also be used in the analysis of mercury in coal and fly ash making the Hydra-C Appendix K system ideal for the power generation community.
