introduction to the cleanair met-80 sorbent trap mercury monitoring system
DESCRIPTION
The CleanAir MET-80 is the leading solution for continuous mercury monitoring in the U.S. Developed in 2004 for the now-defuct Clean Air Mercury Rule, the MET-80 has continued to evolve over the years and is in its fourth generation. It is poised to tackle the Utility MATS and Portland Cement MACT mercury monitoring requirements.TRANSCRIPT

Why CleanAir’s MET-80 is the BEST SOLUTION for mercury monitoring under MATS.

So, MATS requires utilities to monitor mercury 24/7/365

Unless you have an extension, MATS compliance starts April 16, 2014

THAT’S LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AWAY
![Page 5: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It feels like we’ve been here before…
![Page 6: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Remember CAMR?
![Page 7: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Utilities spent $millions on mercury CEMS hardware as they prepared for CAMR
![Page 8: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A lot of it didn’t work…
![Page 9: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
or it cost a fortune to operate…
![Page 10: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
OR BOTH!
![Page 11: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lucky for them, most plants didn’t need this hardware… The rule was vacated by the courts in 2008
![Page 12: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Recognizing the deficiency in Hg CEMS, a few plants went with sorbent trap systems instead
![Page 13: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
They had their reasons
![Page 14: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cheaper than CEMS Back-up for CEMS More sensitivity than CEMS More reliable than CEMS Simpler than CEMS
![Page 15: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CleanAir created the MET-80 in 2004 to address these customers’ needs
![Page 16: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
![Page 17: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
They were viewed as back-ups to the primary CEMS
![Page 18: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
They were touted as being “low cost”
![Page 19: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
In reality, they were “cheap”
![Page 20: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
They weren’t reliable
![Page 21: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Before the MET-80, sorbent trap systems (aka Appendix K Samplers) were essentially re-purposed stack testing equipment
And they were giving the technology a bad name.
![Page 22: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We designed the MET-80 from the ground up to be the Primary Mercury Monitoring System

We installed 33 systems prior to the vacatur of CAMR in 2008
![Page 48: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
We installed another 10 systems post-CAMR for
state permitting purposes
![Page 49: Introduction to the CleanAir MET-80 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring System](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/55942da21a28abee1e8b4647/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
In total, prior to MATS, CleanAir installed over 40 MET-80s for the utilities
