Superior mercury detection for coal samples over AA technology


Recent interviews at East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) explain how Milestone’s DMA-80 Direct Mercury Analyser has been a great asset for helping them to meet the testing standards for mercury determination of coal samples within the required timelines.


East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) provides wholesale electricity to 16 owner-member distribution cooperatives that serve over 1 million Kentucky residents at 545,000 homes, farms, businesses, and industries across 87 counties. EKPC provides power through its collection of coal-fuelled plants, natural gas-fuelled peaking units, and renewable energy plants over nearly 3,000 miles of transmission lines.


For years, staff at EKPC’s central lab used an atomic absorption system for their coal mercury reporting requirements. The numerous drawbacks to that system, which included the system’s ineffi ciency, unreliability, and its labour-intensive process for performing regular maintenance, motivated EKPC staff to look for a new analytical solution for mercury analysis.


EKPC staff discovered Milestone’s DMA-80 evo while visiting another lab in nearby Salyersville, Kentucky, that used the system. During this visit, the Salyersville staff provided a brief demonstration of the system to EKPC staff and shared their experiences with utilising the system.


They were impressed and narrowed their focus to evaluating the differences between their existing AA solution and Milestone’s DMA-80 evo to determine if it would be worthwhile to switch technologies.


According to Matthew David, Chemist at EKPC, “The DMA-80 evo is so much easier to run than other solutions I’ve seen. Milestone has really thought out the entire system. The system’s autoloader is excellent and reliable. The analyser provides better detection limits than other systems I’ve encountered. Even general maintenance with the system is so much easier to do and takes a fraction of the time that I used to invest with my prior AA system.”


The DMA-80 evo is an approved analytical method for mercury determination in coal samples, which allowed EKPC to quickly implement the system into their workfl ow without any method development delays. The staff is very happy with the system’s accuracy and performance and are now able to focus their attention on other areas in the lab with the time savings gained through their DMA-80 evo.

Monitoring liquid-based hazards


It is important to take steps to ensure that the liquids at industrial facilities remain where they are supposed to be. Passive protection is a great option but is not always practical. FM Approvals has expanded the range of liquid leak detectors complying to Approval Standard FM 7745, Liquid Leak Detectors to include hydrocarbon leak detectors (monitoring escaped liquids such as gasoline, diesel, hydraulic fl uid and heating oil), water usage monitors (systems that learn water usage patterns and monitor for abnormal usage), in-line fl ow monitors (initiate the closing of shut-off valves or other actions when abnormal water usage patterns are identifi ed), and linear/area sensors for hydrocarbon and water applications.

Incorporating these products into a facility’s protection plans creates an opportunity to recognise leaks in a protected area earlier so that staff can minimise the effect of the leaks on both property and operations.


FM Approvals certifi es products and services with a unique focus on objectively testing properly loss prevention products and services and certifying those that meet rigorous loss prevention standards. The FM APPROVED mark is recognised and respected worldwide. Backed by scientifi c research and testing, FM Approvals’ certifi cation process instills confi dence and commands respect in your production process.

New accessories for lower detection


limits of total and methyl mercury For mercury researchers who could use some additional sensitivity from their existing MERX modules, Brooks Rand now offers two larger sample-vessel options: 60ml and 250ml.


Unlike any other mercury instrument manufacturer, Brooks Rand has engineered the hardware and software to allow use of 60ml vials (sparge-on-module* or sparge-in-vial) and 250ml bottles (sparge- in-bottle) for signifi cantly enhanced sensitivity. When used in conjunction with Brooks Rand’s certifi ed reagents, these options provide a simple and robust path to achieving lower detection limits.


* The “sparge-on-module” transfers the entire sample volume to the purge vessel, located on the Purge and Trap Module.

Certifi ed reference materials for Poly Brominated Biphenyl Ether (PBDE)


For More Info, email: email:


AccuStandard is one of the few companies in the world that offers all the 209 congeners for the Poly Brominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) compounds. PBDEs are synthetically made chemicals that are mainly used as fl ame retardants. They are commonly added to plastic, textiles and electronic equipment. Similar to other brominated fl ame retardants, exposure to PBDEs is associated with serious health consequences such as cancer, development disorders and reproductive health effects. Testing for PBDEs in water and soil are critical for environmental regulation compliance and to minimize the public exposure to these chemicals. AccuStandard PBDE CRMs include neat, single and multiple component mixtures for USEPA, EU and ISO test methods. Products also include PBDE metabolites (Hydroxy and Methoxy


PBDEs), fl uorinated PBDEs (FPBDEs) used as an internal standard and bromophenols and bromoanisoles. For More Info, email:
