Quantitech to focus on mercury testing at MCERTS

Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Feb 25, 2009

Mercury monitoring will be the major theme of Quantitech's participation at the MCERTS 2009 event, to be held at the Bretby Conference Centre, 29 - 30 April.

Mercury is a concern in processes that involve incineration, such as coal-fired power plants, cement kilns and crematoria.

Quantitech's Dr Gareth Pearson will run a workshop on both days of the MCERTS event, demonstrating technology that uses the US-EPA-approved Appendix K sorbent trap method to measure mercury in stack gas emissions.

Experts will discuss mercury monitoring or other parameters from the several hundred compounds that can be measured by Quantitech's range of portable and fixed MCERTS-approved multiparameter emissions-monitoring systems.
