Agriculture & Livestock Production
Industries where hydrogen sulfide can be a concern due to emissions from manure and waste storage. Jerome analyzers help detect and monitor H₂S levels to ensure a safe environment
Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (AFS)
A highly sensitive technique used to detect mercury vapor by measuring the light emitted when mercury atoms return to their ground state after absorbing ultraviolet light
Battery-Powered Operation
Many portable mercury analyzers are equipped with rechargeable batteries, allowing for extended use in the field without the need for external power sources
Cold Vapor Technique
Specialized approach used in AFS for mercury detection, where mercury is converted into vapor for accurate analysis without the need for combustion
Continuous Air Sampling
A mode available in Jerome Analyzers that allows for ongoing air monitoring to locate sources of contamination
Corrosion Monitoring
Detection of corrosive gases like hydrogen sulfide that can damage electronic equipment or infrastructure
EPA Standards
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets safety limits for mercury exposure. Portable analyzers are used to ensure that mercury vapor levels in residential and industrial areas meet these guidelines
Field Regeneration
A process where the gold film sensor is regenerated in the field, removing absorbed mercury or hydrogen sulfide from the sensor, allowing for continuous testing without returning to the lab
Filter Systems
Devices or internal features in analyzers used to remove interfering gases such as hydrogen sulfide, which can affect the accuracy of mercury readings
Gold Film Sensor Technology
A key technology used in Jerome Analyzers that detects mercury vapor and hydrogen sulfide by measuring changes in electrical resistance as the target gas absorbs onto the gold film
Hotspot Detection
Process of locating areas with elevated levels of mercury vapor, typically using continuous sampling mode to pinpoint contamination for cleanup or remediation
Interference
Presence of substances that can impact the accuracy of toxic gas detection. Filters and specific technologies are used to minimize these effects
Mercury Vapor (Hg)
A toxic form of mercury that becomes airborne and poses serious health risks. Mercury vapor is common in industries such as mining, waste management, and electronics manufacturing
Occupational Safety
Ensuring that mercury vapor levels in workplaces, such as industrial plants or remediation sites, are within OSHA guidelines to protect worker healt
Process Safety
Involves monitoring and managing toxic gas levels to prevent accidents in industries like chemical production and oil and gas exploration
Scrubber Efficiency Testing
Use of analyzers to monitor the effectiveness of scrubbers (devices that remove pollutants from exhaust gases) in reducing hydrogen sulfide emissions from industrial processes
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
An industrial control system that can interface with Jerome Analyzers to monitor gas levels remotely and integrate real-time data into larger operational systems
USB Data Transfer
Feature that allows users to export stored data from a Jerome Analyzer to a computer or storage device for further analysis, reporting, or record-keeping
