The Mercury Measurement in Combustion Flue Gases Short Course will return to the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) in April 2008. Check this site for updates or contact LaRae Foerster, Events Coordinator, by phone at (701) 777-5246 or by e-mail at lfoerster@undeerc.org.

The EERC has, as its foundation, world-renowned expertise in mercury measurement and the use of continuous mercury monitors (CMMs). Several of the EERC presenters have over 20 years of experience in coal-fired power generation and 10 years of mercury measurement experience. The Ontario Hydro (OH) method was validated at the EERC, and ASTM International procedures were written by EERC personnel.

Who Should Attend?
This course is geared toward the coal-fired utility user and is appropriate for:

•	Engineers
•	Operators
•	Instrumentation technicians
•	Plant managers

About the Course
The short course is designed to train personnel who have an interest in measuring mercury in combustion flue gases. The course will provide information as to what methods to use and under what circumstances they should be used. Most importantly, the short course will provide attendees with the knowledge necessary to avoid the many pitfalls that can and do occur when measuring mercury in combustion flue gases.

Opportunities for interaction between attendees and EERC research personnel to discuss specific mercury measurement problems that have been encountered will be promoted. To facilitate this interaction, course size will be limited. A great deal of interest has already been expressed by potential participants. Therefore, it is recommended that those interested in attending register as soon as possible. Space is filling up fast!
