## Description

Features

• Automatic quality assurance, alarms, and control features

• Gas phase calibration not required

• Identification and measurement of as many as 23 elements

simultaneously (refer to the periodic table on the Elements

Supported page of this data sheet)

• Internal calibration check incorporated with every sample analyzed

• Proven RTR/XRF technology demonstrated on the ocean floor, Mars,

and in thousands of beta attenuation monitors

• Daily, automatic upscale, blank, and flow checks

• Recognized by the EPA as an innovative clean air technology (Clean

Air Excellence Award, 2007)

• Sampling, analysis, and near-real-time reporting (every 15, 30, 60

and 120 minutes) CES’ Xact 640 system uses reel-to-reel (RTR) filter tape sampling and

nondestructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis to monitor stack

metal emissions. An isokinetic sub-sample of stack gas is taken from

the stilling chamber and drawn through a chemically reactive filter

tape. Vapor phase metals, including mercury (Hg), are deposited along

with the particulate matter (PM) on the filter tape.

The deposit is automatically advanced and analyzed by XRF for

selected metals as the next sample is being collected. Sampling and

analysis are performed continuously and simultaneously, except

during advancement of the tape (~20 sec) and during daily-automated

quality assurance checks.

In 2007, through its Clean Air Excellence Award, the EPA recognized

the Xact 640 CEMS as an outstanding achievement in innovative

clean air technology. The EPA also approved the Xact 640 CEMS as an

alternative method for periodic Method 29 testing and feed stream

analysis, as well as for monitoring emissions during plant operation.
