Division Description

United Kingdom

The POP content in the output streams is determined by direct measurements or by indirect methods (e.g. the cumulated quantity of POPs in the fly ashes, dry FGC residues, waste water from FGC and related waste water treatment sludge may be determined by monitoring the POP contents in the flue-gas before and after the FGC system) or based on studies representative of the plant.

Notes on Division 1.2

Footnotes

f1: 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.
f2: For periodic monitoring, the monitoring frequency does not apply where plant operation would be for the sole purpose of performing an emission measurement.
f3: If continuous monitoring of N₂O is applied, the generic EN standards for continuous measurements apply.
f4: 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.
f5: 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.
f6: 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.
f7: The monitoring does not apply if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable.
f8: The monitoring does not apply where the emissions of dioxin-like PCBs are proven to be less than 0,01 ng WHO-TEQ/Nm³.
