Method 30B is a procedure for measuring total vapor-phase mercury (Hg) emissions from coal-fired combustion sources using sorbent trap sampling and an extractive or thermal analytical technique. This method is only intended for use only under relatively low particulate conditions (e.g., sampling after all pollution control devices).
Any trap can be customized for special stack conditions. For high particulate and wet stacks, we recommend using the Apex Sorbent Trap Shield to reduce sorbent trap plugging.
