EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The necessity for Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) for process and emission control
of combustion plants is increasing in line with the increased automation of new plants and
additional regulatory requirements. This report presents experience and trend information
from utilities regarding continuous emission monitoring (CEM) at power and Combined Heat
and Powr (CHP) production units in Europe. Topics covered include; reasons for
installations, experience and future expectations of the quality, performance, long-term
availability and costs of CEM installations. The following components are covered; NOx,
SO2, CO, dust, "secondary" flue-gas components (mainly NH3) and the continuous
monitoring of flue-gas velocity. Most of the experience comes from those utilities
represented in the UNIPEDE-THERNOX group. Other utilities in these countries may
therefore have differing experiences. It has also been difficult to collect all the relevant
experience for some of the countries.
The most important trend apparent is the increasing requirement for CEM measurements,
driven particularly by new requirements of the regulatory authorities. The utilities have
performed many investigations into CEM and its advantages. CEM is consequently used not
only for control of the environmental performance of a plant but also (particularly in the case
of NOx, CO and dust) for optimisation and control of the operation of the plant. Existing and
new plants continue to be fitted with emission control measures such as low-NOx burners and
deNOx. An increasing number of CEM installations are therefore required, not only for
measurement of NOx for deNOx process control, but also for measurement of NH3 slip when
using SNCR. CEM is also widely used in Sweden for the determination of fees and taxes for
NOx and SO2 emissions respectively.
Continuous emission monitoring can be done with either extractive or in-situ systems. The
use of extractive CEM to date has greatly exceeded that of in-situ CEM. A trend towards
greater use of in-situ systems is now becoming apparent on the market. The experience
reviewed in this study shows no definite trends for choice of extractive or in-situ CEM, both
have been applied successfully in many countries.
The sampling principle of most of the extractive CEM systems is based on extraction of flue
gas with condensation of water vapour - all countries in this study have reported experience
of this sampling principle. There are, however, also some countries that have reported
experience of extractive sampling systems with dilution and/or heated extractive systems.
The reported experience with CEM based on extraction with condensation is better than that
of CEM based on extraction with dilution or heated extractive CEM.
The most common in-situ CEM method is single point measurement with a probe, but many
in-situ CEM systems measure across the duct. Most countries in this study have experience
with both types of in-situ CEM.
The most common analytic principles for CEM are IR/UV-absorption. Extractive based
CEM mostly uses NDIR or NDUV while the in-situ systems also use differential optical
absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) or IR/UV-absorption. Electrochemical cell-based methods
could be used for both extractive and in-situ systems. In-situ CEM systems for the
measurement of dust are mostly based on opacity. A common practice in extractive CEM for
Manufacturers of in-situ CEM in Europe reported in this study include; Lear Siegler, SICK,
OPSIS, Codel, Land and Durag. SICK, Codel and OPSIS mostly measure across the duct
while Lear Siegler and Land use in-situ probes.
The reported experience (accuracy, performance, long term availability, operating costs etc.)
with extractive and in-situ CEM systems show no major differences. The main advantages
with in-situ CEM are the removal of the need for sample conditioning and the fact that it is
possible to measure components, such as NH3 and NO2, that otherwise are partly or totally
removed during sample conditioning. A number of plants are equipped with SNCR-systems
and accurate measurement of the NH3 slip is therefore useful. Measurement of NH3 with in-
situ CEM can easily be combined with measurement of NOx and/or SO2. A disadvantage of
most in-situ systems is the problem of calibration on a regular and routine basis. Extractive
CEM, on the other hand, is very easy to calibrate.
It takes time and due care to apply CEM in daily operation with adequate accuracy. In
general there have been few problems with extractive CEM. Almost all difficulties reported
relate to the sampling and calibration systems. Condensate management requires careful
attention if problems are to be avoided. Maintenance requirements can be high unless the
system is carefully designed with e.g. provision for back purging of probe filters.
Although low levels of maintenance are reported concerning in-situ CEM it is clear that there
is a need for a minimum level of essential maintenance e.g. cleaning of windows and checking
of optical path alignment.
It is not possible from the survey to recognise any clear trend regarding the performance and
availability of CEM systems. It is clear from many responses that some calibration systems
pose problems and require further attention. A common difficulty appears to be the quality
and reliability of calibration gas standards. The accuracy of gaseous emission concentrations
in flue gas is expected to be high if calibrations are performed carefully and with certified
calibration gases or calibration cells. One reported experience from an accredited laboratory
is that the deviation between a stationary CEM and a mobile extractive CEM in most cases is
below 4% of the measured values. The accuracy of dust CEM, especially at low
concentrations, is low though. The accuracy of yearly emission depends also on uncertainties
in fuel flow and mass flow calculation. A study on three coal fired power plants reports +/- 5
to 11 % uncertainty for NOx-emission and +/- 25 to 30 % for SO2-emission at low
concentrations after FGD (mainly due to concentration gradients in flue gas ducts and single
point measurement).
In most countries measurements are made at a single location (extractive CEM or single point
in-situ probes) which is often determined by grid testing. Most analysers are provided with
systems for automatic calibration. There are also purge air systems to clean the measurement
windows (in-situ CEM). In most of the countries, performance criteria for CEM have been
The mass flow are mostly calculated from the measured concentrations in conjunction with
the fuel consumption, the excess air level and the fuel analysis and seldom from the measured
concentrations and the measured flue gas velocity.
In the future it is possible that other flue gas components will be measured more widely and
other analytic technologies used. Typical examples of such components are NH3 and N2O for
process optimisation. FTIR and diode laser are example of new measurement techniques
coming into use. It is also very possible that existing analysers will be developed further and
their availability and performance improved the electrochemical analysis principle is an
example of such an technique.
In some countries Predictive Emission Monitoring (PEM) has been tested for the
determination of NOx emissions. A PEM system can be verified by multivariate data analysis
or based on predictions by neural network. The plant must be fired with fuels of constant
quality if a PEM system is to be used.

1.1 Background
In 1993 the UNIPEDE THERNOX report on NOx control Technologies was published. In
this report a short statement was made about NOx measurement technologies.
”Widespread use of NOx reduction measures as well as a requirement to meet emission limit
values means that NOx measurement is required under all operating conditions.
Only robust measuring instruments are suitable for power plant operation conditions.
Factors such as high mass flows, large flue gas channel cross sections, particulate
containing flue gas and relatively low NOx and SOx concentrations which are all
characteristic of power station emissions, pose difficulties for representative emission
measurements.
In recent times much work has been directed at improving measurement facilities”.
In 1994 the Thermal Generating Study Committee charged THERNOX to report in more
detail on CEM in power stations and CHP plants. After that a working group was
established to report on the European situation regarding CEM. Decision was made to
collect the information by means of an inventory on experiences of CEM among the
THERNOX members.
1.2 Objectives
- To document the reasons for CEM installations in Europe; are they installed to meet the
requirements of the regulatory authorities?, or for process monitoring and control?, or for
both purposes?
- To follow-up reported studies and to survey current CEM studies in Europe.
- To follow-up experience and opinions about the quality, performance, long-term
availability and costs of CEM installations.
1.3 Implementation
To collect (and document) the necessary information a questionnaire was sent to the
THERNOX Group- members. The questionnaires were filled in by all members in the
THERNOX group and were evaluated and processed by the working group.
It should be noted that the results from this study are not fully comprehensive for all
countries. Practice and experience is reported mainly from those utilities represented in the
UNIPEDE-THERNOX group.
There can be variations at national and regional levels, mostly depending on the thermal
rating of the plant. Typical requirements for continuous monitoring are listed in table 1.
Secondary reasons for CEM include process monitoring and control - e.g. monitoring of
NOx, CO and dust for combustion control, of SO2 for control of FGD and of NOx to control
deNOx processes. NH3 may also be measured (as in Sweden and United Kingdom) to control
NH3-emissions from deNOx processes and conditioning of dust control devices respectively.
Measurement of SO2 to control deSOx processes is required in some countries - in the
Netherlands the efficiency of an FGD must be better than 85 % and be controlled by CEM.
Velocity may be measured for the calculation of mass flow, it is possible to direct measure
the velocity but that is normally not preferred. CEM is also used for combustion
modifications or other primary NOx control measures.
In Sweden there is a fee-system for emissions of NOx. Plants with energy production greater
than 25 GWh/year are included and must quantify their emissions of NOx either by CEM or
by estimation using an officially-defined fixed high level. The principle of the fee-system is
that plants which qualify must report their emissions of NOx (as NO2) and their energy
production to SEPA (the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) each year. For every
kg of NOx emitted the plant must pay SEK 40 (about £ 4). The total payments made by all
plants are refunded. The refund to each plant is based on the ratio of its total energy
production to the total energy production of all the qualifying plants. Plants with low
emissions and high efficiency therefore make money at the expense of plants with high
emissions and low efficiency. In Sweden there are also taxes on sulphur (SEK 30/kg S).
This tax is based on the sulphur content in the fuel. A plant emitting less sulphur than that
contained in the fuel receives a refund. CEM must be used for the determination of this
refund.
the Netherlands;
(NOx and SO2); Multi-component analysers such as FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red) and
PDA (Photo Diode Array) are in use. There is a gradual improvement of emission
monitoring through improvements in the quality of the system in all its aspects and through
an increase in the number of CEM-systems. Studies are being made on the precision and
accuracy of the reported data, both for each installation and for the aggregate emissions of all
power stations.
Poland;
In Poland there is a need for a rapid reduction in emissions from utility boilers. An increasing
number of CEMs are being installed for process control.
Portugal;
(NOx); Measures include research and development to assess the influence of typical
measures for NOx abatement and to establish engineering relationships between operating
variables influencing NOx emissions and global boiler performance in terms of energy
Sweden;
(SO2, CO, NOx, NH3); Gradual improvements are planned such as more cost-effective CEM,
"stripped" versions of established techniques and CEM based on analysis by electrochemical
cells. Predictive emission monitoring (determination of the NOx-emission from other process
parameters; e.g. combustion temperature, oxygen concentration, fuel flow etc.) for oil and
gas burners is being studied. Recently, diode lasers have been used for NH3 measurement. In
the future; testing of continuous measurements by use of FTIR (hydrocarbons) will take
place.
Switzerland;
(NOx); Installation of CEM to study all parameters of the NOx-emissions and to optimise the
emissions through primary measures.
(SO2); Oil with very low sulphur content will be used. CEM is not applied to oil fired boiler
because the fuel analysis gives a better accuracy.
United Kingdom;
(SO2, NOx); Independent reviews by power producers are planned on the relative accuracy
of predictive calculation methods versus direct measurement. Cost effective instrumentation
is currently being reviewed.
(All components); More cost-effective CEM is being sought this will be done through
reviews of new instruments as and when they appear on the market.
Continuous emission monitoring can be done with either extractive or in-situ systems. To
date the use of extractive CEM for gaseous emissions has greatly exceeded that of in-situ
CEM. A trend towards greater use of in-situ systems is now becoming apparent in the
marketplace.
To reduce uncertainties in the flue gas because of concentration profiles there are
international standards for location of representative sampling point(s). Standard rules or
guidelines for the location of sampling points for CEM have been reported from four
countries (France, Poland, Sweden and United Kingdom). In most countries measurements
are made at locations where the flue gas inhomogeneity is low at a single location (extractive
CEM or single point in-situ probes) which is often determined by grid testing. In all countries
the measurement point for emission control is located either at the stack or in the gas duct
leading to it. For process control there can also be measurements before and after the de-
NOx/de-SOx process. A number of manufactures in Europe are listed in appeendix B.
The sampling principle of most of the extractive CEM systems is based on extraction of flue
gas with condensation of water vapour all countries surveyed in this study have experience
of this sampling principle. Experience of extractive sampling systems with dilution has also
been reported by Austria, France, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United
Kingdom. Heated extractive systems are used for sampling condensable components such as
NH3 and HCl. Experience of such systems has been reported by France, the Netherlands,
Sweden and United Kingdom. Table II contains details of the flue gas constituents
monitored and the sampling principles reported for each country.
Equipment manufacturers that were mentioned in the answers include Hartmann & Braun,
ADC, Emission S.A., Siemens, Rosemount, Bodenseewerk and Maihak. The operating
principle of most of those analysers is based on absorption in the IR or UV spectrum of
samples extracted with condensation. ADC, however, operates by extraction with dilution
and uses Chemiluminescence and UV fluorescence for analysis of NOx and SO2 respectively.
Heated extractive analysers, based on 2nd derivative IR-spectroscopy combined with gas
filter correlation, are produced by Bodenseewerk.
The principle of most in-situ CEM systems is single point measurement with a probe. The
most common example of an in-situ CEM, the ZrO2-cell which is used for the determination
of Oxygen, is not discussed in this report. There are also in-situ CEM systems which
measure across the duct and which are therefore less sensitive for siting. Most countries
studied have experience with both types of in-situ CEM. All flue gas components discussed
in this report except N2O have been measured by in-situ CEM techniques.
The analytic principles for in-situ CEM are IR/UV-absorption or electrochemical cell-based
methods. In-situ CEM systems based on opacity are used for the measurement of dust.
There is also, normally, a purge air supply to clean the sample windows.
The most commonly reported manufacturers of in-situ CEM are Lear Siegler, SICK, OPSIS,
Codel, Land and Durag. SICK, Codel and OPSIS mostly measure across the duct while Lear
Siegler and Land are based on measurement by in-situ probes.
Performance criteria or guidelines for CEM systems have been established in most countries
reported in this survey. Only Germany (anticipated in Ireland) has official approval
procedures for CEM instruments, only approved types of instruments can be used.
Switzerland does not have an ”official approval procedure” as such, but in some cantons
(regions), the measurement instruments must be of a type that is officially approved by the
German TÜV. In Poland the ”General Environmental Inspectorate” have established
guidelines for the design of CEM systems.
Austria;
NORM M9410, 9411. The extraction point is fixed by an authorised institute during
commissioning ; The availability of data per month must be > 90 %; Zero point and span
calibrations must be done at least once per week; A "technical service" is required every
three months. The equipment and criteria are checked every year by the authorised institute;
An independent system calibration is done by this institute every 3 years.
France;
(NOx and SO2); Measurements must be carried out according to AFNOR standards (French
Standards organisation) which includes sampling and measurement methods. The license
issued by the local authority contains general requirements on regular checking and requires
an annual test to be carried out by an accredited independent test laboratory.
(Dust); The French authorities require CEM for plant emitting more than 5 kg/h. If the
emission exceed 50 kg/h periodic measurements by gravimetric techniques are required also.
Germany;
(SO2, NOx and dust); TA-luft prescribes the required conditions. TÜV inspection verifies
this.
Ireland;
(NOx and SO2); The Irish EPA have expressed a preference for CEM which meets TA-luft
or which complies with USEPA requirements.
Italy;
(All flue gas components); Precision, rise time, fall time, response time, detection limit,
sensitivity, repeatability, linearity, zero drift, span drift, immunity to interference are some of
the instrument characteristics influencing selection in the purchasing process.
The Netherlands;
(SO2, NOx and dust); Performance criteria are set according to the "Regulations of
Measuring Methods of the BEES". CEM should be used in accordance with generally
accepted measuring practice.
Poland;
In Poland there is an official issue of guidelines and technical requirements for CEM. If
power plants install CEM according to these requirements, results of the monitoring are
accepted by the Regional Environmental Inspectorate. At other plants the Regional
Environmental Inspectorate can perform spot emission measurements. If emissions for
certain components exceed upper allowable limits, the power plant must pay a penalty until
measurements show that the emissions are below the legal limit.
(NOx and SO2); Detection limit = 2 % of measurement range; Zero point drift (between two
calibrations) = 2 % of measurement range; Effect of interferences = 4 % of measurement
(CO); Detection limit = 0,2 %; Effect of interferences = 0,5 %; Zero drift = 0,5 %;
Temperature affect = 0,2 %/10 oC.
(Gas velocity); Error +/- 2 % of range (Zero and test point drift within 2 % of limit).
Portugal;
(NOx, SO2 and CO); The measurement equipment must be submitted to periodic calibration
according to the relevant legislation. The span and calibration gases should be certified and
differ at most by 2 % from the stated value.
Spain;
(NOx, SO2); There are standard requirements for the installation of CEM equipment. All
equipment is installed at the same location where the flow is homogeneous.
Sweden;
(NOx, SO2 and O2 /CO2 ); Criteria for CEM for the determination of NOx fees and sulphur
taxes; Detection limit ≤2 % of measurement range; Zero point drift (between two
calibrations) ≤ 2 % of measurement range; Span drift (between two calibrations) ≤ 4 % of
measurement range; Effect of interferences ≤ 4 % of measurement range; Response time
(the whole measurement system) ≤200 seconds.
The measurement ranges should be about twice the highest expected concentrations in the
flue gas. The span and calibration gases should be certified and differ by a maximum of 2%
from the stated value.
(Velocity); Criteria for CEM for measurement of velocity where this is used for the
calculation of the mass emission of NOx and sulphur; Detection limit ≤ 10 % of measurement
range; Zero point drift (between two calibrations) ≤ 2 % of measurement range; Span drift
(between two calibrations) ≤ 4 % of measurement range; Response time (the whole
measurement system) ≤30 seconds.
(NOx, SO2 and CO2, O2 or velocity); The whole monitoring system shall be verified by an
accredited laboratory once a year (by parallel measurement). There are then two other
criteria; The standard deviation between the utilities CEM and the accredited laboratory’s
CEM result or measured velocity data must be ≤ 5 % of measurement range; Systematic
error between the two systems must be ≤2 % of measurement range.
Switzerland;
(All components); Use of the best measurement technology is required; the Swiss authorities
set the specification for official measurements; the performance of CEM systems must be
accepted by the Cantonal authorities also; the instruments must generally be approved by the
German TÜV.
The dominant method for determination of mass flow is stoichiometric calculation on the
basis of fuel composition, flue gas O2 content and fuel consumption. This applies in most
countries. Use of direct measurement of flue gas velocity is normally not used.
Predictive emission monitoring (PEM) for the determination of NOx emissions has been
tested in some countries. This has involved prediction by neural network or multivariate data
analysis.
Italy;
(NOx and SO2); Periodic measurements have been made on thermal units < 300 MWth. Mass
flow rate is calculated stoichiometrically on the basis of fuel consumption and O2 content in
flue gas.
Netherlands;
It is permissible to determine NOx emissions by the continuous measurement of one or more
characteristic parameters. A relationship is derived between these characteristic parameters
and NOx emissions which is verified every 3 years. The statement is only true when a simple
relationship exists between NOx-emissions and load e.g. in natural gas-fired power stations
with constant gas quality but never in coal-fired power stations.
Poland;
In those cases where there is no direct measurement of the flue gas mass flow, the mass flow
rate is calculated stoichiometrically on the basis of fuel consumption and the O2 content of
the flue gas.
Portugal;
Assessment is being done on several engineering tools which are under development for the
prediction of NOx emissions and boiler performance as a function of operating conditions and
fuel type.
Sweden;
The principle of predictive emission monitoring (PEM) is accepted by SEPA for
determination of NOx-emissions. The first applications have been for two biofuel-fired
boilers in two separate saw-mills during 1996. The performance criteria for PEM must be
similar to the performance criteria for a CEM (chapter 5.3). Mass flow rate is calculated
stoichiometrically on the basis of fuel composition and flue gas O2 content.
Switzerland;
The principle of predictive emission monitoring (PEM) is generally accepted by the
authorities (for gas and oil combustion). The NOx emissions can be determined by the
continuous measurement of characteristic parameters. The accuracy must be similar to direct
measurements.
United Kingdom;
A watching brief is being kept on developments in PEM e.g. neural networks.
3.5 Reporting
The mass flow are mostly calculated from the measured concentrations in conjunction with
fuel consumption, the excess air level and the fuel analysis and seldom from the measured
concentrations and the measured flue gas velocity.
Some of the additional national and regional limits can be simply concentration limits (ppm or
mg/m3n) rather than mass emission limits. In such a case it is necessary to correct
measurements to a fixed level of O2 or CO2 if emissions are to be made comparable.
Otherwise it is not possible to take dilution by excess air or moisture into account.
Austria;
(NOx, SO2, dust and CO); At least one set of data are measured per minute, mean values are
calculated for every half hour and daily mean values are also calculated. A yearly report is
made to the regulatory authorities; part 1 covers emission mass flows/month and part 2
covers compliance with the legal limits: Legal requirements are met if no daily value > limit,
if less than 3 % of half hour values > 120 % of the limit and if no half hour value > 200 % of
limit.
Belgium;
(SO2, NOx and dust); Collection of measurement data is done every 15 seconds, the NOx
concentrations are calculated, standardised (for O2) and stored every half-hour. Daily mean
values are calculated from the half-hour mean values. Daily, monthly and annual reports are
available. The mass flows and a classification of the half-hour mean values (frequencies > 1,2
and > 2 times the limit values) are detailed in these reports. An annual report is sent to the
authorities.
France;
(NOx, SO2, dust and HCl); Collection of measurement data is done every 10 seconds and
minute-average figures are calculated as basic data. An average concentration is calculated
every hour from calculated mass flows. Daily and monthly mass flows, exceedances, average
and maximum concentrations are reported monthly to the regional authority. An annual
report is sent to the Environment Ministry.
Germany;
(NOx, SO2 and CO); An annual report is made.
Italy;
(NOx, SO2 and dust); The monthly arithmetic mean, summary statistics of the 48 hourly
averaged values over the year and the total annual mass emission must be reported on a
periodic report (usually yearly).
The Netherlands;
Poland;
(SO2, NOx and CO); Half hourly data must be available to the authorities. If limits are
exceeded a report is made on a special form.
Portugal;
(NOx, SO2 and CO); The measurements of emissions are sent to the authorities every three
months in the case of CEM, and within 30 days for any spot measurements. Regarding
CEM, the statistical parameters are determined with a minimum of 75 % of possible values,
measured in normal conditions during a reference year (1 April - 31 March). The same
approach is applied to the calendar year i.e. the period between 1 January and 31 December.
Spain;
(NOx and SO2); Half-hourly data is reported to the national authorities in a standard format.
Sweden;
(NOx ); Reporting of NOx for determination of fees; Hourly mass flows are calculated.
These mass flows are summated to produce daily mass flows and the daily masss flow are
used to generate annual mass flows. The annual mass flows are reported to the Swedish
EPA.
(SO2); Reporting of SO2 for determination of taxes; Hourly mass flows are calculated.
These mass flows (sulphur) are summated to produce daily mass flows and the daily mass
flows are summated to produce annual mass flows. The annual mass flows are declared to
the taxation authority.
(All components); There are also requirements from the regional authorities, generally
involving annual reporting. These requirements refer mostly to specific emission rates
(mg/MJ) but in some cases reporting is required of emission concentrations normalised to a
fixed concentration of O2 or CO2. Continuous monitoring of emissions is not necessary for
these purposes.
Switzerland;
(NOx, SO2 and CO); The cantonal (regional) authorities assume that the emission limits are
complied with. They verify the power plant emissions (by official measurements) every ~ 2
years. A detailed report, based on CEM or PEM of all power plant emissions (NOx, SO2,
CO, dust, volatile organic compounds,..), must be given (~yearly) to the authorities: This
covers the type of emission, the emission concentration and its mass flow as a function of
time and further statistical information to fully describe the situation.
The SO2 emissions can be calculated from the fuel analysis for oil fired boilers.
United Kingdom;
(SO2, NOx, and CO); Hourly averages are determined every 10 minutes. No averages must
exceed 150 % of the set limit. 95 % of the hourly averages in a month must be below the
limit. Annual mass emissions are reported.
Experience in different countries of the two measurement systems (extractive and in-situ) is
reviewed in this chapter. A common theme in many responses was difficulty in obtaining a
consistent reliable supply of calibration gas.
There is variable experience with extractive CEM but most countries have had good
experience while the availability in some countries has been poor. In general there have been
few problems specifically with the analysers and almost all difficulties reported relate to the
sampling and calibration systems. Condensate management requires careful attention if
problems are to be avoided. Maintenance requirements can be high unless the system is
carefully designed with e.g. provision for back purging of probe filters. Only a few reports
about dilution systems was given and the experience was mixed. A major advantage of
extractive systems is their ease of calibration. Experience in each country is as follows;
Austria;
(All components); Extractive with condensation - generally good experience for all
components even at high dust concentrations, some problems with leakage (difficult to
detect) and with interferences from moisture in the flue gas (NDUV/NDIR).
(All components); Extractive with dilution - generally satisfactory for all components, can
only be used in gases with a low dust content, problems with calibration exist (dilution can
vary with temperature), difficulties exist for correction of measurements to standard dry
conditions (NDUV/NDIR).
Heated extractive CEM - is used in two cases for measurement of NH3. Experience is
acceptable.
Belgium;
(SO2, NOx and CO); Use of NDIR for plant monitoring has been abandoned because of high
maintenance costs. It is still used for comparative measurements but the sampling system
adds many uncertainties. Extractive systems work satisfactorily on gas turbines where they
are the only type suitable for gas monitoring at high temperature (550 °C).
(CO); Good with clean flue gases; for gas turbines (NDIR).
France;
(SO2 and NOx); No important problems with NDIR instruments which are fitted to most
EDF power plants.
(Dust); β-absorption method is used. Maintenance is made difficult by the sampling location
- generally in the upper portion of stack.
Germany;
(NOx, SO2 and CO); Good experience is reported for one utility (NDUV/NDIR).
Ireland;
(NOx); Highly labour intensive based on a single experience.
(CO); Poor performance. Condensation causes blockage of gas flow, leakage problems at
pumps and cooler, probe filter plugging (NDIR).
Netherlands;
(NOx); Attention must be paid to representative and proportional sampling. Good
agreement with independent measurements. Novel techniques such as FTIR or PDA (photo
diode array) are still not sufficiently developed to be used for CEM.
(SO2); All parts must be heated to avoid loss of SO2 in condensate, attention must be paid to
representative and proportional sampling (NDIR/NDUV).
(NH3); All parts in the sampling system must be heated to avoid condensation of water
vapour and ammonium salts (NDIR).
(N2O); The interferences of CO, CO2 and NO must be checked regularly (NDIR).
(Dust); Dust monitoring is installed after the FGD plant. Sampling systems may clog when
the plant is restarted after a shutdown. Monitors are adjusted monthly (zeroed) and are
maintained twice yearly.
Poland;
(All components); There are about 40 systems installed, but, within each power plant, the
same CEM type is normally used for measurements on the different boilers.
Generally there is good experience of extractive CEM with condensation, some problems
arise relating to leakage (difficult to detect) and moisture. Maintenance problems occur with
sample conditioning. It is of limited usefulness for on-line process control because of the
long response time (NDIR/NDUV).
Portugal;
(NOx and SO2); Calibration problems are often encountered. Minor problems related to the
condensate drain pump are sometimes reported (NDIR, NDUV).
(SO2); Problems related to H2SO4 formation and associated corrosion (NDIR).
(CO); Calibration problems (NDIR).
Spain;
(NOx, SO2); Generally good experience. Maintenance problems with sample conditioning
equipment (NDUV/NDIR/Chemiluminescence).
Sweden;
(NOx, SO2, CO, N2O); Extractive with condensation - generally good experience (availability
and performance), problems with leakage at connections, coolers or pumps, plugging of the
probe filter or with drain pumps. CO could not be measured in series after the NOx-
converter. The maintenance can be much reduced if systems for automatic calibration and
back purging of the probe filter are installed (NDIR/NDUV).
(N2O); Hydrocarbons can interfere (NDIR).
(NH3, H2O, HCl); Heated extractive. Problems with condensation of moisture and
ammonium salts (2nd derivative IR-spectroscopy combined with gas filter correlation).
Switzerland;
(NOx, CO); Good experience with multi-point probe. Frequent calibration is important. To
check for leakage, it is important to be able to inject the different calibration gases near the
sample probe and also near the CEM instruments. The fast response time allows the
detection of small combustion changes in optimisation (chemiluminescense/NDIR).
United Kingdom;
(NOx); Generally good availability, some problems with drain pumps (NDIR).
(SO2); Problems with high moisture content flue gas analysis (NDIR) after FGD processes
(limited experience).
(CO); Problems with drain pump and condensation of sample in lines, trace heating
recommended (NDIR).
There is generally good experience with in-situ CEM. A disadvantage of most in-situ
systems is the problem of calibration on a regular and routine basis. The main advantage is
the removal of any need for sample conditioning. Although low levels of maintenance are
reported it is clear that there is need for a minimum level of essential maintenance e.g.
cleaning of windows and checking of optical path alignment. All dust CEM which uses light
absorption or opacity must be calibrated against a manual gravimetric dust measurement.
The opacity and light scattering from particles from different fuels normally varies.
Austria;
(Dust); Problems with water droplets after FGD.
(SO2, NOx, NH3, H2O and CO2); Generally good experience is reported with DOAS after a
lengthy adjustment period in a waste incineration application.
Belgium;
(All components); No severe systematic defaults has been observed. Measurement of the
emission parameters requires extremely reliable sensors which provide self calibration,
including auto/zero correction, auto/span checks and correction. Highly encouraging results
have been achieved.
(SO2, NO); Thirty analysers of the 2nd derivative UV type have been in use since 1990.
Accurate, free of interferences, calibration intervals are of the order of 6 months. Very low
instrument drift, inaccuracy is frequently a result of bad calibration, air leakage is a possible
source of inaccuracy. Equipment intervention has been limited almost completely to
replacement of the UV-lamp.
(Dust); ~ 60 dust density monitors in use since 1990. The calibration of optical density to
mass concentration varies with type of coal. Although not easily quantifiable, the error
amounts to at least 30 %.
France;
(NOx and SO2); A test of DOAS has been in progress for some months in an EDF power
plant.
Italy;
(SO2 and Dust); Limited experience with in-situ CEM for SO2 monitoring. Extensive
experience with dust monitoring by optical techniques (100 units). No specific problems
reported.
The Netherlands;
(NOx and SO2); Good experience with (ND)UV, problems with contamination of mirrors
and windows, disturbance in the alignment of the optical path due to vibration of the
installation, calibration of cross-stack systems is difficult.
(Dust); Dust monitors are installed after FGD plant. Generally there are few or no problems
with fouling. Monitors are adjusted (zeroed) each month. Maintenance is done every 6
months.
Poland;
(NOx and SO2); About 60 installations. Better availability compared to extractive CEM.
Portugal;
(NOx and SO2); No major problems (UV).
Spain;
(NO and SO2); Very robust and reliable equipment. Low maintenance (2nd derivative
IR/UV).
Sweden;
(NOx, SO2, NH3, H2O); Good experience (availability and performance), general problems
are; soiling of windows, interferences and problems with calibration (DOAS).
(CO); Good experience (IR).
(NOx, SO2, NH3); Across the duct in-situ analyser (DOAS/UV) can handle a maximum level
of (ppm * m) and it is also difficult to use them in medium to small gas ducts. An in-situ
analyser needs a minimum measurement length and is difficult to install in the small plants (25
- 40 GWh/year) which will be included in the Swedish NOx-fee system from 1997.
(Dust); Good experience with light scattering transmissometer.
Switzerland;
(CO); The accuracy is sufficient for the detection of increased CO due to a reduction in
excess air levels. It thus enables optimum adjustment of combustion conditions to be made
(IR).
4.3 Accuracy
The general emission registration process can be split up into several parts.
There is always a concentration profile in the flue gas duct. A theoretical statistical approach
gives the following examples of uncertainties. When sampling at one (random) point in the
flue gas duct the deviation of the measured concentration from the average concentration in
the flue gas duct can be 8 % when the ratio between the lowest and highest concentrations in
the flue gas duct is a factor of 1,2 and up to 34 % at a ratio of 2. Performing sampling with a
4 x 4 grid the uncertainty (which is 2 times the standard deviation) reduces to 3% at a ratio
between the highest and lowest concentrations of 1,2 and to 10 % for a ratio of 2. Increasing
the number of sampling points reduces the uncertainty. Deviations from the average
concentration in the sampling plane with a single random sampling point and with grid
sampling are shown in figure 1 and 2.

The accuracy of the different CEM types for gaseous compounds is generally considered to
be good by users. However, it is important to note that in most cases emission
concentrations are discussed and in the Netherlands and in Sweden also the question of total
annual mass emissions are considered. This makes direct comparison of experience difficult.
It is not possible to recognise any clear trend regarding the performance and the availability
of CEM systems from the survey response. The accuracy of gaseous emission concentrations
in flue gas is expected to be high if calibrations are performed carefully and with certified
calibration gases or calibration cells. Experience reported from a Swedish accredited
laboratory is that the deviation between a stationary CEM and a mobile extractive CEM
(owned by the laboratory) is below 4 % of the measured values in most cases. The accuracy
of dust CEMs are low, especially at low concentrations. The accuracy of calculations of
yearly emissions depends also on uncertainties in fuel flow and volumetric flow calculation.
A study of three coal fired power plants gives +/- 5 to 11 % uncertainty for NOx and +/- 25 -
30 % for SO2 in low concentrations after FGD, mainly due to concentration gradients in flue
gas ducts.
Belgium;
In-situ:
(SO2, NO); During 1988 seven different types of in-situ gas analysers from different
manufacturers were tested on a power plant. The test extended over six months and an
extractive CEM was used as reference. It was found that the mean relative error on NOx-
measurement is < 7 % when the calibration is done carefully.
Netherlands;
A study has been performed for the estimation of the total uncertainty in the determination of
SO2 and NOx emissions by means of continuous emission monitoring systems at three coal-
fired power plants in the Netherlands.
The power plants were equipped with primary NOx control and with flue gas desulphurisation
units (FGD). The NOx-concentrations were in the range between 250 and 500 mg/m3 and the
SO2-concentrations in the range between 50 and 200 mg/m3 . Two plants were equipped with
a (single point) in-situ SO2 and NOx monitoring system (UV absorption; Lear Siegler) and the
third power plant was equipped with an extractive emission monitoring system (UV-PDA;
Ametek) for SO2, NO and NO2. The sampling occurred at a single point in the flue gas duct.
The following major types of uncertainties were determined and quantified:
- systematic errors (such as representativeness of sampling, uncertainty in calibration gases,
interferences)
- random errors (such as variation in 24-hour average, calculation of the volumetric flue gas
flow)
For the three individual coal fired power plants the uncertainty in the total annual emission of
NOx were around 5 % for two plants and 11 % for the other. This higher value is due to the
fact that this power plant uses only one and the same stoichiometric flue gas volume for the
calculation of the volumetric flue gas flow for all fired coal blends during the whole year. If
the stoichiometric flue gas volume for each coal blend is used then an uncertainty of about +/-
5 % in the annual emission of NOx can also be reached.
For SO2 the uncertainty in the annual emission was in the range between +/- 20 and 25 % for
all three power plants. This uncertainty is mainly due to the single point measurements and
the concentration gradients in the flue gas duct after the flue gas desulphurisation unit.
These uncertainties are solely based on the quantifiable errors in the total emission recording
process. Any bias due to incorrect calibration, leakage, calculation errors (wrong conversion
factors), the inclusion of faulty measuring values etc. are not included in these figures.
(Dust); Comparison measurements against a manual method are made only at installation.
Monitors are not calibrated against manual reference methods. Dust levels are very low,
generally below 10 mg/m3 this is substantially below the legal limit value which is usually
20 or 50 mg/m3 depending on the date of the first license.
Sweden;
(NOx, SO2, CO); The relative error in CEM concentration measurements has been calculated
to be about ± 4 % in some Vattenfall studies. These studies have been done for mobile
extractive CEM but the value is also representative for stationary CEM. The following
parameters have been included; uncertainty in the representativeness of the sampling point
(extractive CEM), uncertainty in the calibration gases, uncertainty in the zero point,
uncertainty in the linearity, uncertainty because of interferences and finally uncertainty
because of accidental errors in the recording unit.
The uncertainty in the determination of the mass emissions (kg/h) have been estimated to
about +/- 12 % in another study. In this study the gas flow is calculated from the fuel
analysis and continuous measurement of oxygen.
The experience from the accredited laboratory owned by Vattenfall is that the deviation
between a stationary CEM and a mobile extractive CEM (owned by the laboratory) is in most
cases below 4 % of the measured values.
Another experience of the same laboratory is that there are almost never concentration
gradients in the flue gas duct or the stack. The laboratory have verified about 30 CEM
installations in small to average plants (10 - 100 MW). During such a procedure two
different CEMs with different probes are used, the first probe is moved across the duct while
the other probe is fixed at one point.
Concentration gradients have occurred in a few cases and if the concentrations from the two
different CEM were standardised to the same level of O2, the concentrations corresponded in
all cases except one. The value of possible differences was, with the exception of the one
problematic case, always less than 10 % (without normalisation to the same O2-
concentration). In the problematic case the corresponding concentration levels were
measured at 7 out of 10 measurement points, in the remaining 3 the difference was up to 30
%.
The measurement points were, in all cases, located after the de-dusting and also after any
deSOx-or deNOx-processing. In no cases were the measurement points located close to a
flue-gas cleanup process, a rotating air preheater or a fan.
Switzerland;
United Kingdom;
(CO); Satisfactory accuracy and reliability (extractive with condensation and NDIR).
Experience is better with CEM based on extraction with condensation compared to CEM
based on extraction with dilution or heated extractive CEM. Based on limited data it appears
that the experience (accuracy, performance, long term availability, operating costs etc.) of
extractive (with condensation) and in-situ CEM are about the same. Belgium has reported
better experience of in-situ CEM and Sweden has reported slightly better experience with
extractive CEM.
There have been no reports of any difficulties with data collection/processing systems for
CEM although major problems with data systems have been widely reported in the US.
Further information on data collection/processing, whether of a positive or negative nature,
would be of value in completing this review of CEM experience.
Italy;
In Italy the trend is toward the application of extractive with condensation CEM for
monitoring of SO2, NOx and CO and of in-situ CEM for monitoring of dust. A unified
calibration and maintenance program has now been developed and is being applied for quality
control and insurance. Some problems has been met in automatic calibration due to the
difficulties in finding good calibration gases.
Sweden;
In Sweden there are two trends concerning extractive or in-situ CEM. The new small plants
(25 - 40 GWh/year in produced energy) which now are included in the fee-system have
chosen extractive CEM or in some cases PEM because it is difficult to measure with an in-
situ CEM in small diameter gas ducts. Also, the price of extractive CEM is lower in Sweden
compared to in-situ CEM. The larger plants, however, have mostly chosen in-situ CEM. An
increasing number of plants are gradually being equipped with deNOx and measurement of
NH3 slip is therefore desirable. Measurement of NH3 with in-situ CEM is more accurate and
is also easier.
Regarding calibration, a recommendation which can be made is to calibrate the analyser
weekly in the month following installation. If the accuracy is satisfactory then the analyser
can subsequently be calibrated monthly. Most of the new plants that will be included in the
NOx-fee system during 1997 are equipped with calibration cells. These CEM systems are
Switzerland;
NOx measurement by Chemiluminescence can suffer drift through use of ambient air for the
ozoniser this is due to a high sensitivity to the air moisture content.
The costs of CEM-systems depends on several factors; number and types of components,
number of sampling points, sampling system, analysis principle and so on. Direct comparison
of reported CEM costs has not been possible. The reported investment span is considerable;
from £ 20.000 - £ 200.000 and annual operating costs are reported from £ 3.000 to £ 9.000.
The lower costs are reported for example from highly standardised CEM used in the Swedish
NOx-fee system and only for monitoring of O2 and NO.
The reported experience in this study indicate that costs are lower (both investment costs and
maintenance costs) for in-situ CEM than for extractive CEM. In some countries additional
cost arises each year for independent verification by an accredited laboratory this is
currently a moderate cost.
The most important trend in all the countries reporting is the increasing requirement for CEM
measurements, driven particularly by new requirements by the regulatory authorities. The
utilities have performed many investigations into CEM and its advantages. CEM is
consequently used not only for control of the environmental performance of a plant but also
(particularly in the case of CO and dust) for optimisation and control of the plant operation.
Existing and new plants continue to be fitted with primary measures such as low-NOx burners
or with secondary measures deNOx. An increasing number of CEM installations are
therefore required, not only for measurement of NOx for deNOx process control but also, in
some countries, for the measurement of NH3 slip when using SNCR techniques.
The experience reviewed in this study shows no definite trends for choice of extractive or in-
situ CEM, both have been applied successfully in many countries.
Use of CEM by the extractive condensation principle has, thus far, been more frequent than
in-situ CEM. In most countries the experience (accuracy, performance, long term
availability, operating costs etc.) of extractive and in-situ CEM has been similar. Some
countries e.g. Belgium have reported better experiences of in-situ CEM while Sweden has
reported better experiences of extractive CEM. The reported experience with CEM based on
extraction with condensation is, however, better than that of CEM based on extraction with
dilution or heated extractive CEM.
In Sweden, despite the slightly better experiences from extractive CEM, there have been
many new in-situ installations. This is because an increasing number of plants are being
equipped with SNCR-systems and therefore often, mainly for process control, measure the
NH3 slip. Measurement of NH3 is more accurate and easier with in-situ CEM which also can
often combine the measurement of NOx and NH3. The trend in Sweden is therefore; plants
with deNOx - in-situ CEM and other plants - extractive with condensation.
In most of the countries, performance criteria for CEM have been established. Only Germany
(anticipated in Ireland) has a standard approval system for the CEM instruments. Also some
cantons (regions) in Switzerland require German TÜV approved CEM instruments.
It is not possible to recognise any clear trend regarding the performance and the availability
of CEM systems from the survey response. A high accuracy can be expected if the CEM is
installed and managed correctly. A much poorer accuracy can be expected if the relevant flue
gas concentrations are very low or with a considerable concentration profile e.g.
measurement of SO2 after a deSOx unit.
It is clear from many responses that calibration systems pose problems and require further
attention. A common difficulty appears to be the quality and reliability of calibration gas
standards.
Trends which are apparent include the facts that the more conventional CEM methods are
becoming more cost effective and that the simpler CEM methods are being improved. New
measurement techniques such as FTIR and diode laser are also coming into use. The
electrochemical analysis principle is one example of a technique which may be improved
further.
Article 15
1. In the event of continous measurements, the emission limit values set out in Annexes III
to VII1 shall be regarded as having been complied with if the evaluation of the results
indicates, for operating hours within a calender year, that:
a) none of the calendar monthly mean values exceeds the emission limit values; and
- oxides of nitrogen: 95% of all the 48 hourly mean values do not exceed 110%
of the emission limit values.
The periods referred to in Article 82 as well as start up and shut down periods shall be
disregarded.
3. In the cases referred to in Article 5 (2) and (3)4, the rates of desulphurization shall be
regarded as having been complied with if the evaluation of measurements carried out
pursuant to Annex IX, point A.25, indicates that all of the calendar monthly mean values
or all of the rolling monthly mean values achieve the required desulphurization rates.
The periods referred to in Article 86 as well as start up and shut down periods shall be
disregarded.

Annex IX
METHODS OF MEASUREMENTS OF EMISSIONS
1. Concentrations of SO2, dust, NOx and oxygen shall be measured continously in the case
of new plants with a rated thermal input of more than 300 MW. However, monitoring of
SO2 and dust may be confined to discontinous measurements or other appropriate deter-
mination procedures in cases where such measurements or procedures, which must be
verified and approved by the competent authorities, may be used to obtain concentration.
In the case of plants which must comply with the desulphurization rates fixed by Article
5 (2) and (3)7, the requirements concerning SO2 emission measurements established
under paragraph 1 shall apply. Moreover, the sulphur content of the fuel which is intro-
duced in the combustion plant facilities must be regularly monitored.
3. The competent authorities shall be informed of substantial changes in the type of fuel
used or in the mode of operation of the plant. They shall decide whether the monitoring
requirements laid down in paragraph 1 are still adequate or require adaption.
The competent authorities shall obtain determination of the total annual emissions of
SO2 and NOx. When continous monitoring is used, the operator of the combustion
plant shall add up separatelys for each pollutant the mass of pollutant emitted each day,
on the basis of the volumetric flow rates of waste gases. Where continous monitoring is
not in use, estimates of the total annual emissions shall be determined by the operator on
the basis of paragraph A.1 to the satisfaction of the competent authorities.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the total annual SO2 and NOx
emissions of new combustion plants at the same time as the communication required
under paragraph C.3 concerning the total annual emissions of existing plants.

Council Directive 88/609/EEC
1. Member States shall establish, starting in 1990 and for each subsequent year, a complete
emission inventory for existing plants covering SO2 and NOx:
- on a plant by plant basis for plants above 300 MWth and for refineries;
- on an overall basis for other combustion plants to which this Directive applies.
2. The methodology used for these inventories shall be consistent with that used to
determine SO2 and NOx emissions from combustion plants in 1980.
By 1990 Member States shall inform the Commission of full details of methods and base
data used for establishing the emissions of SO2 and NOx from existing combustion
plants, referred to respectively in Annexes I and II8, column 0.
The methodology used for establishing such emission inventories and the detailed base
information shall be made available to the Commission at its request.
4. The Commission shall organize a systematic comparison of such national inventories and,
if appropriate, shall present proposals to the Council aiming at harmonizing emission
inventory methodologies, for the needs of an effective implementation of this Directive.
