44. BIMSCHV DEMANDS CONTINUOUS MONITORING! OUR SOLUTION: EMI-LOG
In June 2019, the previous Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA-Luft) were replaced by a new Federal Immission Control Ordinance (44th BImSchV) and CHP plant operators must continuously monitor the emissions from their engines with immediate effect.
In particular, the following sections from ‘§ 24 Measurements on combustion engine systems’ must be observed:
- § 24 Measurements on internal combustion engine systems (6):
‘In the case of internal combustion engine installations equipped with oxidation catalytic converters, the operator shall provide evidence of the continuous effective operation of the catalytic converter.’ - § 24 Measurements on internal combustion engine systems (7):
‘The operator of an internal combustion engine installation shall provide evidence of continuous compliance with the emission limit values for nitrogen oxides, for example through the continuous effective operation of the exhaust gas purification device. The operator of a gas engine system based on the lean-burn principle must monitor the emissions of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas of each engine using suitable qualitative measuring equipment such as NOx sensors as a daily average value.’
The implications for CHP plant operators are therefore as follows:
- Continuous NOx monitoring with immediate effect
- Max. Downtime of catalytic converters 400 h per 12 months (-> approx. 17 days)
- The function of the exhaust gas aftertreatment must also be monitored for existing engines
- Engines with a rated thermal input = 1 MW must be reported by the operator to the responsible authority
We have the manufacturer-independent solution to fulfil all requirements of the 44th BImSchV, our EMI-LOG:
- Fulfilment of the legal requirements of the 44th BImSchV
- Continuous NOx measurement
- Monitoring of effective continuous operation using a CO sensor
- Determination of daily average values
- Display
- The last 4 daily average values
- Current NOx and CO half-hourly average value
- Downtime hours of the emission reduction system via the daily averages
- Operating hours via the pressure sensor
- Local storage of daily averages and downtimes (6 years)
- Power connection and internet access must be provided by the operator
