Continuous Emissions Monitoring of Total Mercury
Over the past decades, mercury (Hg, quicksilver) has gone from being a versatile commodity used in everything from thermometers to herbicides, to a partially banned substance, which name alone signals environmental issues and health concerns. Today, much use of mercury has been phased out in favour of more environmental- and health-friendly substances, and the remaining circulation of mercury is ...

Continuous measurement of mercury emissions in combustion plants (Overview and new measuring method)
Introduction Continuous measuring devices have been used for continuous recording of Hg emissions in waste incineration plants since the early Nineties. Operators of combustion plants must maintain a 24-hour measured value of 30 μg/m³ mercury and a half-hourly average value of 50 μg/m³ in accordance with the 13th and 17th BImschV. In order to meet these requirements, measuring ...

Regulating Mercury Emissions
Historically, mercury (Hg) has found its use in many products such as thermometers, batteries, and fluorescent lamps. However, mercury is extremely toxic, and it has in modern days been banned from use in most applications.By example, the Minamata Convention on Mercury from 2013 has been designed to prevent releases of mercury and mercury compounds in order to protect human health and the ...

Long-term sampling - A method for continuous emission monitoring of dioxins/furans and mercury
Introduction The continuous emission monitoring of the different compounds which are emitted by industrial facilities is an important topic to approve the compliance to different regulations like WID. However, there are several compounds which cannot be measured in real time. Specific dioxins/furans (PCCD/PCDF) and other POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) cannot be measured by online monitors. ...

Trending Emissions Monitoring
Industrial emissions within the European Union are governed by the Industrial Emissions Directive, the IED. It is a framework directive largely relying on industry-specific reference documents on best available techniques, BREFs. The BREF for waste incinerators (WI) was revised during the 2010s and a new version became effective in December 2019. The expectations on industrial emissions control ...
