The AMESA-M is a fully-automatic, continuous mercury monitoring system for smoke gas that provides maintenance-free, safe, and easy monitoring without wet chemistry. It extracts a proportional gas sample, stores up to 4 weeks of data internally, and measures total mercury concentration through thermal and dry chemical conversion to vapor followed by photometry, displaying results as dry flue gas concentration. It is suited for audit and control purposes in waste, soil, and mercury processing facilities.
