A U.S. EPA draft method, Method 30 B, has been approved as a reference method for relative accuracy testing audits of Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) and sorbent trap monitoring systems installed at coal-fired utilities. It is also appropriate for mercury emissions testing at such facilities. This method is a procedure for measuring total vapor phase mercury emissions from coal-fired combustion sources using all extractive or thermal analytical technique and UV atomic absorption (AA) or UV atomic fluorescence (AF) cold vapor analyzers as the analytical system. The DMA-80 direct mercury analyzer uses thermal decomposition and ultimately AA spectrophotometry to analyze samples. The analyzer can be used for Method 30 B analysis.
