Continuous Mercury Monitor (915J)

Real-Time Speciating Hg Process Monitor

Available for Download

The 915J Continuous Mercury Monitor is an online mercury process monitor designed for use in challenging environments such as coal-burning utilities, cement kilns, incinerators, industrial boilers, and other industrial facilities. A real-time mercury monitor is an essential tool for understanding and controlling mercury emissions and optimizing mercury control technologies, particularly when traditional systems create ongoing maintenance and reliability challenges. Many facilities explore alternatives to legacy Hg CEMs for this reason, as outlined in Are You Fed Up with Your Hg CEM?.

The 915J performs continuous mercury monitoring for point source emissions (stacks) associated with coal combustion, Portland Cement manufacturing, municipal incineration, and industrial processes. Built through years of research, testing, and refinement, it emphasizes high reliability, low maintenance, ruggedness, and ease of use. The system also fits well within a broader emissions management approach that combines continuous monitoring with periodic verification methods, as described in The Hybrid Hg Monitoring Strategy. Industry-leading performance has been demonstrated in dozens of power plants operating under a wide range of challenging conditions.
