The PSA 10.525 mercury analyser is specifically designed for measuring mercury in gaseous samples at both on line and offline installations.

It incorporates a dual purge and trap arrangement, using specific Amasil® traps, which can be configured to handle any sampling requirements.

Mercury is quantified through the use of atomic fluorescence detection which allows absolute detection levels of below 0.1picogram. It is portable with a simple trolle y like carry case so can easily be transported for site to site measurements.

Control is via the dedicated Sir Galahad software with either PC or laptop computer or via the versatile PSA online software.

The advantages of the atomic fluorescence approach with the performance of the amasil® have been incorporated into the ISO standard method which has been developed for natural gas measurements.

It is so versatile that it can be used for applications ranging from measuring mercury in exhaled breath to direct mercury in gasoline analysis, using the PSA 10.515 accessory.

The standard instrument can operate in two modes, either continuous or remote operation. Continuous mode is the general sampling mode.

The major application for the Sir Galahad is the analysis of natural gas at both online and offline locations.

It is the heart of the online continuous emission monitors for power plant, crematoria and incinerator stacks.

It is also used for the online and offline analysis of mercury in air at urban and rural sites and for industrial gases like hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

For specific applications we have a range of sampling modules which fulfil the requirements of the application.

These include explosion proof units for natural gas applications, dual amalgamation units to check that 100% of mercury is amalgamated, dual amalgamation units which alternate in sampling and analysis cycle so that continuous measurement is obtained which can identify when transient peaks of mercury are emitted and units specific to natural gas analysis where high levels of hydrogen sulphide are present.

For more detailed engineering-based projects, PSA is able to offer its analytical expertise combined with the client's engineering team to provide a fully customised approach.
