Jerome 405 new option for mercury spill detection and clean up analysis

With emphasis on health and safety at the forefront, reliable, fast and accurate mercury monitoring is vital when breaking containment of pressurised vessels containing hydrocarbons. Like its predecessor, the 431-X, the Jerome 405 utilises the industry proven, inherently stable and reliable gold film sensor technology and simple one button operation. The ergonomically designed handle, lighter exterior case and significantly lower detection capability (0.5 µg/m3) have reset the bar for portable and simple to use, low-level mercury detection instrumentation.

The Jerome 405’s sensor is highly specific for mercury, eliminating interferences common to ultraviolet analysers such as water vapour & hydrocarbons. It has a detection range of 0.5 – 999 µg/m3 with an accuracy of +/-10% at 1 µg/m3. Its response time is 12 seconds in sample mode and 2 seconds in survey mode. Its light-weight design (2.5kg) facilitates portability.

Additional applications and industries utilising the Jerome include mercury spill response and clean up, mercury exclusion testing, facility monitoring, source surveys, hazardous waste sites, fluorescent lamps disposal and recycling, worker safety, landfill monitoring, exhaust duct monitoring, plant environmental monitoring.
