Abstract: L'invention concerne un convertisseur d'un système de surveillance en continu d'émissions (CEMS), qui reçoit d'une sonde un échantillon de gaz contenant du mercure vaporisé. Le convertisseur transforme par craquage thermique le mercure oxydé présent dans l'échantillon en un composant du mercure élémentaire et un composant oxydant. Le convertisseur réduit aussi la pression de l'échantillon afin de réduire la recombinaison du composant de mercure élémentaire avec les composants oxydants. L'analyseur de mercure du système reçoit l'échantillon à pression réduite provenant du convertisseur et détecte la fluorescence du mercure élémentaire dans l'échantillon. L'analyseur de mercure maintient l'échantillon à la pression réduite afin de réduire l'effet d'extinction de fluorescence auquel est soumis le mercure élémentaire dans l'échantillon, et fournit une mesure sensiblement précise de la concentration du mercure élémentaire dans l'échantillon.
