# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/2010 of 12 November 2019 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for waste incineration (notified under document C(2019) 7987) (Text with EEA relevance), Division 1.2: Monitoring Extent: E+W+S+N.I. BAT 2.BAT is to determine either the gross electrical efficiency, the gross energy efficiency, or the boiler efficiency of the incineration plant as a whole or of all the relevant parts of the incineration plant. Description In the case of a new incineration plant or after each modification of an existing incineration plant that could significantly affect the energy efficiency, the gross electrical efficiency, the gross energy efficiency, or the boiler efficiency is determined by carrying out a performance test at full load. In the case of an existing incineration plant that has not carried out a performance test, or where a performance test at full load cannot be carried out for technical reasons, the gross electrical efficiency, the gross energy efficiency, or the boiler efficiency can be determined taking into account the design values at performance test conditions. For the performance test, no EN standard is available for the determination of the boiler efficiency of incineration plants. For grate-fired incineration plants, the FDBR guideline RL 7 may be used. BAT 3. BAT is to monitor key process parameters relevant for emissions to air and water including those given below. Stream/Location Parameter(s) Monitoring Flue-gas from the incineration of waste Flow, oxygen content, temperature, pressure, water vapour content Continuous measurement Combustion chamber Temperature Waste water from wet FGC Flow, pH, temperature Waste water from bottom ash treatment plants Flow, pH, conductivity BAT 4. BAT is to monitor channelled emissions to air with at least the frequency given below and in accordance with EN standards. If EN standards are not available, BAT is to use ISO, national or other international standards that ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality. Generic EN standards for continuous measurements are EN 15267-1, EN 15267-2, EN 15267-3 and EN 14181. EN standards for periodic measurements are given in the table or in the footnotes. For periodic monitoring, the monitoring frequency does not apply where plant operation would be for the sole purpose of performing an emission measurement. If continuous monitoring of N2O is applied, the generic EN standards for continuous measurements apply. The continuous measurement of HF may be replaced by periodic measurements with a minimum frequency of once every six months if the HCl emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable. No EN standard is available for the periodic measurement of HF. For plants incinerating wastes with a proven low and stable mercury content (e.g. mono-streams of waste of a controlled composition), the continuous monitoring of emissions may be replaced by long-term sampling (no EN standard is available for long-term sampling of Hg) or periodic measurements with a minimum frequency of once every six months. In the latter case the relevant standard is EN 13211. The monitoring only applies to the incineration of waste containing brominated flame retardants or to plants using BAT 31(d) with continuous injection of bromine. The monitoring does not apply if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable. The monitoring does not apply where the emissions of dioxin-like PCBs are proven to be less than 0,01 ng WHO-TEQ/Nm3.

BAT is to appropriately monitor channelled emissions to air from the incineration plant during OTNOC. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eudn/2019/2010/annex/division/1/division/1.2 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/eu-decision-2019-2010/annex/division-1/division-1.2 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
