Automatic Mercury Analyzer/SP-3D

SP-3D

Model SP-3D is an automatic Mercury Analyzer based on Thermal Decomposition, Dual-Steps Gold Amalgamation and detects via Cold-Vapor Atomic Absorption. Any sample matrices (solid, liquid or gaseous) can be rapidly analyzed without any sample pretreatment procedure, with high sensitivity and precision.

The SP-3D consists of three main modules - Mercury Atomizer, Mercury Controller and Mercury Detector.

Principle of Operation

Sample is set into ceramic holder and introduced into Sample Heating Furnace. Upon combustion, mercury is atomized, trapped (as gold-amalgam) and separated from the combusted gaseous products. SP-3D utilizes "dual-steps" amalgamation before transferring the mercury to detect via Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption at 253.7nm.

Model SP-3D is fully adopted by UOP 938 and IFP MA-4-9606 for its ability and reliability to analyze trace level of mercury in liquid hydrocarbons down to 0.1 ppb (parts per billion).

Applications

Petroleum (Liquid & Gas Hydrocarbon matrices)
Environmental (Liquid & Solid Waste and Gaseous)
Food (Liquid & Solid matrices)
Biological (Liquid & Solid matrices)
