Modular Stack Gas Monitor
Automatic monitoring of total mercury emissions (CEM) at different sites
Introducing the new
SM-4 mobile
- Easy to transport
- Qickly dismounted and reassembled
- Sample dilution directly at the probe: eliminates interference with virtually any sample matrix
- Maintenance free low temperature converter directly at stack: no transport of ionic mercury thus minimizing mercury adsorption
- Detects total mercury
(elemental, ionic and bound mercury)) - Automatic calibration for elementary and ionic Hg
- Automatic quality control (QAL3) during operation
- Extremely wide range of measurement:
0,05 bis 1000 µg/m³
The SM-4 mobile by Mercury Instruments was developed on the basis of the well proven SM-4 Stack gas monitor. Its measurement principle and technique, its thermocatalytic reactor, the detector and the sample probe are identical with those of the stationary SM-4.
Due to its modular design, the SM-4 mobile can easily be transported, assembled and disassembled. It is the ideal solution for the determination of total vapor phase mercury emissions at varying sites.
Applications
- Coal fired power plants
- Waste incineration plants
- Sewage sludge incineration plants
- Cement kilns
- Recording of Hg-emission situations as well as determination of the efficency of
Hg-reduction techniques - Method 30A applications
- Testing of stationary CEMs
- Optimizing of mercury control technologies
