Mercury Determination and Speciation

P S Analytical specialises in the supply of instrumentation for ultra-low level determination and the speciation of environmentally important elements such as mercury, arsenic, selenium, antimony, tellurium and bismuth. Matrices and applications include water, soils, sludges, effluents and gases. Systems are tailored for customer requirements with worldwide applications support, technical assistance and full-service back up. Systems are available meeting requirements for EPA 1631, 245.1, 245.2 and 245.7, ISO 6978-2, 17852, 16772 and ASTM 6784-02.

Applications for petrochemical analysis for mercury levels remain of significant interest, since mercury, even at low ppt levels creates significant risks to the processing of petrochemical products. In all fractions of the petrochemical product range, including natural gas, liquefied natural gas and liquid condensates, mercury levels need to be monitored and the mercury removed where possible.

Working closely with industry and regulators, P S Analytical has installed fully automated systems that meet international safety standards and provide continuous measurements of the mercury levels in sample streams. Tailoring systems and chemistries to customer requirements and site practicalities has put PSA firmly at the forefront of these requirements.
