  2. Contents of this presentation • SMART permits • Tasks for inspectors • Periodic measurements • Continuous measurements • Yearly emission reports • Explanation of the validation test

  3. Contents of this presentation • SMART permits • Specific • Measurable • Acceptable • Reliable • Time bound

  4. SMARTpermits:Specific (1) • Emission Limit Value (ELV) • Units (NOx : mg NO2/Nm3 at reference O2) • Continuous/periodic monitoring • Sampling place • When is ELV exceeded? • Actions to be taken when ELV is exceeded

  5. SMARTpermits:Specific(2) Continuous or periodic measurements • Continuous Measurements • Large sources (e.g. combustion plants >100 MWth) • Sources with strongly varying emissions • Sources with secondary abatement techniques • Compounds with high environmental impact

  6. SMARTpermits:Specific(3) Continuous or periodic measurements • Periodic measurements • Small sources • Sources with constant emissions • Sources with secondary abatement techniques and • the functionality can continuously be checked with • other measurements

  7. SMARTpermits:Measurable • Periodic measurements • Suitable standard • Detection limit < Emission Limit Value (ELV) • Sufficient number of access ports • Maximum uncertainty • Continuous measurements • Suitable monitoring system (CEMS/PEMS) • Maximum uncertainty

  8. SMARTpermits:Acceptable • Emission Limit Value: • in agreement with EU directives • in agreement with Best Available Techniques; • ELV≠Emission Value BREF • Abatement technique cost effective

  9. SMARTpermits:Reliable (1) • Periodic measurements • Accredited laboratories (EN 17025) • Standards: standard reference method (SRM)

  10. SMARTpermits:Reliable (2) • Continuous measurements • Quality Assurance (EN 14181) • QAL 1: required uncertainty achievable • QAL 2: calibration with Standard Reference method (SRM) • (15 parallel measurements) • QAL 3: zero/span checks in Cusum cards • Annual Surveillance Test: verification by 5 parallel • measurements with SRM; linearity test

  11. SMARTpermits:Timebound (1) • Periodic measurements • Sampling time/averaging time • Number of samples • Representative process conditions • or • Measurement plan

  12. SMARTpermits:Timebound (2) • Continuous measurements • Availability of the analysers • Sampling frequency • Averaging time • Allowed period for exceeding of the emission limit value

  13. Tasks for inspectors: periodic measurements (1) • Judgement of the report: • Analysis method, sampling procedure, time • Uncertainty • Accreditation • Measured concentration below emission limit value • Representative process conditions

  14. Tasks for inspectors: periodic measurements (2) • Judgement of measurements: • Analysis method, sampling procedure • Representative process conditions • Judgement of measurement plan: • Analysis method, sampling procedure, time • Representative process conditions

  15. Tasks for inspectors: continuous measurements • Judgement of the equipment: • EN 14181 implemented for QA/QC, or • Analysis method, uncertainty • Sampling: representativeness, frequency, averaging time • Calibration, zero and span checks, sufficient maintenance • Calculation of concentration (conversion factors for moisture • oxygen concentration, temperature, etc)

  16. Tasks for inspectors: yearly emission reports (1) • Validation of the report (1): • Correct emission factors used for all sources? • Correct calculation methods used? • Correct units used? • Emission data consistent with former years • Emission data consistent with emission limit values?

  17. Tasks for inspectors: yearly emission reports (2) • Validation of the report (2): • Installation data consistent with energy data? • Energy data consistent with emission data? • Emission data consistent with installation data? Explanation of validation test
