Paragraph 29 Emission limit values for NOx and CO for gas turbines (including CCGT) using middle and light distillates as liquid fuelsF1
Emission limit values (mg/Nm3) for NOx and CO for gas fired combustion plants are as set out in Table 10—
Table 10
| NOx | CO | |
|---|---|---|
(1) For single cycle gas turbines having an efficiency greater than 35% – determined at ISO base load conditions – the emission limit value for NOx is 50xη/35 where η is the gas turbine efficiency at ISO base load conditions expressed as a percentage. | ||
Combustion plants other than gas turbines and gas engines | 100 | 100 |
| Gas turbines (including CCGT) | 50f1 | 100 |
| Gas engines | 75 | 100 |
For gas turbines (including CCGT), the NOx and CO emission limit values set out in this point apply only above 70% load.
Gas turbines and gas engines for emergency use that operate less than 500 operating hours per year are not covered by the emission limit values set out in this paragraph.
