Appendix K Long Term Testing Spiked Sorbent Traps
Description
Appendix K Long Term Testing Vapor-Spiked Sorbent Traps at a variety of spike levels are available for Long Term and Continuous testing. These 10mm extra durable 3 section sorbent traps are typically used from a 1-7+ day sampling and can be used when pulling up to 1 liter per minute flow. They are all custom spiked for extra spike retention at any level the customer requires.
Ohio Lumex Appendix K Long-term Testing Spiked Sorbent Trap
Technology
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.
