Field Analysis
In order to achieve the optimal capture rates, ME2C conducts all of its analysis in the field monitoring and adjusting as necessary vs. collecting samples for laboratory analysis.
ME2C field analysis uses a mobile laboratory trailer is equipped with a Leeman cold-vapor atomic adsorption spectrophotometer and a DMA-80 analyzer (Milestone, Inc.). The DMA-80 allows for coal and ash mercury analysis in the field. This technique was recently validated as EPA Method 7473, entitled “Mercury in Solids and Solutions by Thermal Decomposition, Amalgamation, and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry.”
In addition to the equipment necessary to do mercury wet-chemistry sampling procedures, several different types of continuous mercury monitors (CMMs) are used:
- PS Analytical
- Tekran
- OhioLumex
- Thermo
