Tekran Model 1130 Mercury Speciation Unit

The Tekran Model 1130 Mercury Speciation Unit gives the Model 2537A Mercury Vapor Analyzer the ability to simultaneously monitor both elemental and reactive gaseous mercury (RGM) species in ambient air. Although the majority of atmospheric mercury is present in elemental form, differentiation is important due to the greater local impact of reactive (ionic) forms. (Reactive mercury has much higher wet and dry deposition rates than does elemental.) Speciation is of particular interest close to industrial sources such as waste incinerators which may discharge the majority of their mercury emissions in ionic form, in particular mercuric chloride (HgCl2).

System Expansion

The system is capable of operating in conjunction with the Model 1135 Particulate Mercury Unit. This module mounts directly above the Model 1130 and provides the additional ability to measure fine fraction (< 2.5 micron) particulate bound mercury simultaneously with the elemental and reactive forms.
