Appendix K RATA Vapor-Spiked Sorbent Traps for "Total"
Mercury Testing
Appendix K RATA Sorbent Traps at a variety of spike levels are
available for evaluations and RATA. When performing a RATA on
an Appendix K System, these are the traps used in the Appendix
K System and are specially made to match the Method 30B traps
perfectly. These 10mm extra durable 3 section sorbent traps are
typically used from a few hours to 1 day sampling and can be used
when pulling up to 2 liters per minute flow. Custom spiking at
any value you need is available. Unspiked traps are also available
for purchase.

On March 15, 2005, EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR)
to reduce and cap mercury emissions from coal-fired Power Plants.
The CFR 40, part 75 - Continuous Emissions Monitoring outlined
as Appendix K entitled "Quality Assurance and Operating Procedures
For Sorbent Trap Monitoring Systems" enable Power Plants
to use a low cost alternative to CEMMs, which have much higher
capital cost, installation/certification and maintenance cost.
Use of Sorbent Traps with the Direct analysis by Thermal Method
is allowed as a compliance reporting procedure by these regulations.
Mercury Emissions Testing Traps and portable Direct Sorbent Trap
analyzer available from Ohio Lumex satisfy the strict QA/QC procedures
outlined in the method.
