LX-4000-Hg Mercury CEMS for Continuous Industrial Stack Monitoring

Introduction

Monitor mercury emissions from industrial exhaust streams using an integrated continuous mercury monitoring system designed around the measurement and reporting requirements of your project.

Applications: Coal-fired power plants, waste incineration and other industrial sources subject to mercury monitoring requirements.

 

Optimize your environmental compliance and process control with our Mercury CEMS. By integrating cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (CVAF)  with a high‑temperature dilution extraction front end, this system delivers industry‑leading accuracy in measuring elemental (Hg⁰) and oxidized (Hg²⁺) mercury concentrations (mg/m³) and emission rates (kg/h, t/d, t/a).

Key Measurement Methods in Mercury CEMS

  •  Sampling system: High‑temperature dilution extraction for representative gas conditioning

  • Mercury Detection: Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence (CVAF) for sub‑ppb precision

  • O₂ Analysis: Zirconia sensor with automatic oxygen compensation

  • Temperature Monitoring: Thermistor (or thermocouple) for rapid response

  • Pressure Monitoring: Solid‑state pressure transducer for stable, drift‑free readings

  • Flow Rate Monitoring : Micro differential‑pressure (Pitot tube) method for accurate volumetric flow

How Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Powers Our Mercury CEMS?

Unlock ultra‑sensitive mercury detection with the heart of our Mercury CEMS—the Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence (CVAF) spectrometry module. This cutting‑edge technology delivers real‑time, sub‑parts‑per‑trillion resolution in flue gas mercury monitoring, ensuring regulatory compliance and process optimization.

    1. UV Excitation with Mercury‑Vapor Lamp

      • A high‑intensity UV lamp emits photons at the 253.7 nm resonance wavelength.

      • Flue gas enters the optically clear sample cell , allowing mercury atoms (Hg⁰ and Hg²⁺) to absorb UV energy.

    2. Fluorescence Emission & Photon Counting

      • Excited Hg atoms immediately re‑emit absorbed energy as fluorescence light in all directions.

      • A precision photon‑counting detector , positioned at a 90° angle, captures only the fluorescence signal—eliminating background noise and cross‑interference from SO₂, O₂, and other flue gas constituents.

    3. Automatic Baseline Correction & Drift Compensation

      • Integrated algorithms perform continuous zero‑span checks using built‑in elemental and ionized mercury gas generators.

      • Real‑time correction routines maintain measurement stability over extended operational cycles, reducing calibration frequency and maintenance costs.

    4. Dilution Extraction for Harsh Environments

      • The high‑temperature sampling probe dilutes particulate‑laden flue gas to protect optics and extend lamp life.

      • Controlled dilution also mitigates quenching effects, preserving the CVAF’s exceptional detection limits, even in high‑dust or high‑acid gas streams.

    5. Data Integration & Reporting

      • Measurement data (mg/m³, kg/h, t/a) are transmitted seamlessly to your DCS and environmental data systems.

      • Customizable alarms and trend reports let you respond proactively to emission excursions, optimize combustion settings, and document compliance.
