Zusammenfassung:	System (100) and method (300) for measuring mercury in a hydrocarbon stream. The system (100) includes: a wave generator (102) configured to emit microwaves; a receptacle (104) configured to hold a catalyst (105a); a fluid transporter (106) configured to allow the hydrocarbon stream to be in fluid communication with the receptacle (104) that is holding the catalyst (105a); and a waveguide (108) disposed between the wave generator (102) and the receptacle (104), the waveguide (108) configured to channel the emitted microwaves to the catalyst (105a) such that the catalyst (105a) absorbs the microwaves to generate heat for converting mercury in the hydrocarbon stream into elemental mercury. The catalyst (105a) can also facilitate vaporization and cracking of complex hydrocarbon chains in the hydrocarbon stream to simpler hydrocarbon chains. An additional catalyst (105b) can be provided to trap or adsorb the simpler hydrocarbon chains and its pyrolized product from the hydrocarbon stream. Figure 1
