Teledyne Leeman Labs is pleased to announce the introduction of a new mercury analyzer for emissions monitoring, the Hydra-C Appendix K The EPA clean air mercury rule requires coal fired power generation facilities to monitor mercury emissions on a continuous basis. This can be achieved either through the installation of continuous emission monitors (CEM) or by the use of sorbent trap technology, where emitted mercury is trapped on a sorbent material and analyzed by a suitable method. (Appendix K) The new Hydra-C Appendix K system has been designed to be compliant with CFR40, Part 75, Appendix K (Sorbent trap analysis method).

Some of Hydra-C’s Appendix K features include:

• Easy-to-use, combustion technology: No messy digestion procedures required
• Fully automated analysis: User friendly software guides the user through setup for multi-sample unattended analysis
• 70 position autosampler: Fully automated analysis of up to 70 samples
• Analysis of both daily and weekly sorbent traps: Versatile detection system offers an extended dynamic range.
• RATA testing: Compliant with all Relative Accuracy Test Audit requirements
• Analysis of coal and fly ash: System can be applied to a wide variety of  analytical needs and sample types.
• Automated scheduled maintenance: Tracks system usage and instructs the operator when maintenance is recommended
• Fast and economical service: The unit has been designed using a modular  approach allowing the simple exchange of key components
• Pedigree in Hg analysis: Teledyne Leeman Labs has been a leading supplier of instrumentation for the analysis of mercury for over 15 years.
