Apex Isokinetic Source Sampling Systems are rugged versatile equipment designed for extracting a representative flue gas sample from a source to determine dust and fumes emissions in accordance with many U.S. EPA Reference Methods as published in CFR 40 Part 60 Appendix A. The Apex Isokinetic Source Sampling System allows the operator to monitor gas velocities, temperatures, pressures and adjust sample flow rates to obtain a representative flue gas sample.

The results are often used to prove compliance with existing and applicable regulations. It can also be used to characterize the gas stream, tune or optimize the process or combustion source, or validate control processes in place.

XC-5000 AutoKinetic™ Source Sampler

The Apex Instruments XC-5000 AutoKineticTM Sampler is designed for conducting US EPA Method 5 and associated isokinetic methods. Take the worry out of isokinetic calculations and the human error out of data entries recorded by hand. The new XC-5000 is compatible with your existing Method 5 stack sampling components. Report preparation is streamlined with accurate data downloadable to files for easy preparation and submission to your regulating agency.

Features:

• Uses standard Apex Instruments sample train components (probe, nozzle, heated filter box, impinger box, etc.)
• Maintains isokinetic sampling conditions without operator assistance
• Calculates stack traverse points
• Calculates correct nozzle diameter for site conditions
• Stores and displays user entered data and parameters
• Upload and download data files
• Performs instantaneous isokinetic sample flow calculations
• Timer alerts operator to move the probe
• Alarms indicate when acceptable conditions are not met
• English or metric units selectable

The automated XC-6000EPC MercSampler™ for Sorbent Trap Monitoring Systems is designed for continuous dual sampling of vapor-phase mercury emissions from stationary combustion sources, in accordance with the U.S. EPA MATS published in 40 CFR, Part 60-63, Appendix A, Subpart UUUUU and is MATS compliant. Performance Specification 12B: Specifications and Test Procedures for monitoring total vapor phase mercury emissions from stationary sources using a Sorbent Trap Monitoring System.

These monitoring systems involve continuous repetitive in-stack sampling using paired sorbent media traps with periodic analysis of the time-integrated samples. Persons using PS 12B should have a thorough working knowledge of methods 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 30B in appendices A-1 through A-3 and A-8 to this Part 63.

Power generation utilities will be able to measure and obtain accurate and reliable mercury emissions data in order to determine emission levels and develop control strategies. Power generation utilities may choose from either Continuous Mercury Monitors or Sorbent Trap Monitors like the Apex XC-6000EPC for Mercury Emissions Monitoring.
