“With impending government initiatives to regulate US cement operations, the possibility of national or state specific monitoring requirements is becoming eminent,” said Arun Govil, chief executive officer & president of Cemtrex. “Monitoring of mercury stack emissions has become a global issue for cement and power plants, and more strict regulations by authorities, as well as the public claim for a complete surveillance of mercury, have caused an increasing interest in mercury monitors.”
Cemtrex’s SM-3 Mercury Monitor for cement plants covers a multiple sample matrices under wet and dry process conditions, featuring quick and versatile true continuous measurement (no measurement cycle). It includes a maintenance-free, solid-state catalyst and a highly sensitive atomic absorption spectroscopy analyzer, suited to a variety of measuring ranges.
“We are now working with leading cement plants, consultants and advisory boards to further enable the mercury reporting challenges we face at present,” remarked Ravi Narayan, vice president of the MIP division. “Our mercury monitoring solution not only offers a very cost-effective way of compliance but also provides the latest technology available today that is being used successfully in the European market.”
