Mercury Analyzer For Continuous Monitoring in Flue Gas
Mercury Analyzer For Continuous Monitoring in Flue Gas
MERCEM
The US EPA‘s Clean Air Mercury Rule issued in 2005 is the first rule worldwide which seeks to
reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The limits for Hg measurement are in
the very low ppb levels. PS 12A defines the high performance standards for Continuous Mercu-
ry Monitoring Systems required under Part 60 and Part 75 of the CFR.
SICK MAIHAK is able to meet these high standards. MERCEM is a very accurate, field-proven
system that monitors Mercury in flue gas on a continuous basis.

Economic efficiency
The MERCEM can be closed coupled to the MCS100E HW multi-component CEM
system. This saves duplicate sample extraction equipment which reduces the
cost of ownership.
