Automatic Mercury Stack Gas Monitor

SM-3

The SM-3 mercury analyzer measures continuously the elemental, bound and ionic mercury in stack fluegas

The operating principle of the SM-3 is based on a completely new technique: mercury compounds cracking and the reduction of ionic mercury contained in stack gas is performed applying the thermocatalytic method.

Wet chemical sample gas treatment using reagents and bubblers is avoided. Maintenance and servicing of the SM-3 are therefore extremely easy.

Exemple of use:
May also be used for mobile applications.

  • True continuous mercury measurement (not measuring cycle)
  • No wet-chemistry, no use of reagents
  • Maintenance-free solid state catalyst
  • Range 1 to 45; 0 to 75; 0 to 500 µg/m3 Hg (other ranges upon request)
  • Corrosion protected, rugged construction
  • Compact size, mobile operation possible
  • Detects elemental, ionic and bound mercury
  • Coal fired power plants
  • Municipal waste incinerators
  • sewage sludge incinerators
  • Hazardous waste incinerators
  • Cement production
