Abstract

This European Standard specifies the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for sampling, and determining car-bon monoxide content in ducts and stacks emitting to atmosphere. It describes the Non Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) analytical technique, including the sampling system and sample gas conditioning system, to determine CO in flue gases. This European Standard is the reference method for periodic monitoring and for calibration or control of Automatic Measuring Systems (AMS) permanently installed on a stack, for regulatory purposes or other purposes. To be used as the SRM, it is necessary to demonstrate that the performance characteristics of the method are lower than the performance criteria defined in this European standard and that the overall uncertainty of the method is less than ± 6 % relative at the daily Emission Limit Value (ELV).
NOTE   When the NDIR method is used as an AMS, refer to EN 14181 and other relevant standards provided by CEN TC 264.
It is necessary for anybody who would like to use an Alternative Method instead of this Standard Reference Method to work out the demonstration of the equivalence according to the Technical Specification TS 14793, providing that his capability to carry out this demonstration is officially recognised by his national accreditation body or law.
   This Standard Reference Method has been evaluated during field tests on waste incineration, co-incineration installations and large combustion plants. It has been validated for CO concentrations with sampling periods of 30 min in the range of 0 mg/m3 to 400 mg/m3 for large combustion plants and 0 mg/m3 – 740 mg/m3 for waste and co-incineration. For waste incineration plants, Council Directive 2000/76/EC lays down emission values which are expressed in mg/m3, on dry basis at a specified value of O2 and at reference conditions of 273 K and 101,3 kPa.

measuring cell that the sample gas enters. There may be a reference cell in some designs; 
infrared detector;  amplifier and signal processing system to give an electrical output proportional to the CO concentration. The standard of construction and vibration/corrosion resistance shall be suited to industrial environments and to the composition of the flue gas. In Annex A schematic diagrams are given of two types of non-dispersive infrared analysers. 6.2 Pressure and temperature effects The output signal of the analyser is proportional to the density of CO (number of CO molecules) present in the absorption cell and depends on the absolute pressure and temperature in the absorption cell. The effects of variations of pressure and temperature in the absorption cell should be taken into account by the manufac-turer. 6.3 Sampling pump for the analyser The sampling pump can be separate or part of the analyser. In any case, it shall be capable of operating within the specified flow requirements of the manufacturer of the analyser and pressure conditions required for the NDIR absorption cell. 6.4 Interferences due to infrared absorbing gases 6.4.1 General As various gases absorb infrared radiation, interference from these gases can occur when their infrared ab-sorption bands coincide or overlap the CO infrared absorption bands. The degree of interference varies among individual NDIR analysers. In general, gas correlation spectrophotometers are less sensitive to the influence of interferents. 6.4.2 Water vapour The primary interferent is water vapour. However water vapour interference should be minimised by using sampling and conditioning configuration 1 or 2. SIST EN 15058:2006

The sums of contributions to uncertainty producing positive and negative effects are calculated separately. The maximum of their absolute value shall be compared with the performance criterion. c Only one of these values shall be included in the calculation : the first possibility is to choose the repeatability standard deviation got from laboratory tests corresponding to the closest concentration to the actual concentration in stack, or the higher (relative) standard devia-tion of repeatability independently of the concentration measured in stack. 7.3 Establishment of the uncertainty budget An uncertainty budget shall be established to determine if the analyser and its associated sampling system fulfils the requirements for a maximum allowable overall uncertainty. The overall uncertainty for this method used as a reference shall be lower than 6 % at the daily emission limit value. This overall uncertainty is calculated on dry basis and before correction to the O2 reference concentra-tion. SIST EN 15058:2006

57 mg/m3 H2O 1 % volumea a This corresponds to a maximum concentration which is obtained by the sampling procedure described in 5.1. An example of the evaluation of an uncertainty budget is given in Annex B. 8 Field operation 8.1 Sampling location The sampling location is chosen to ensure that the gas concentrations measured are representative of the average conditions in the gas duct. In addition, the sampling location shall be chosen with regard to safety of the personnel, accessibility and availability of electrical power. 8.2 Sampling point It is necessary to ensure that the gas concentrations measured are representative of the average conditions inside the waste gas duct. In most cases, a single sampling point situated in the middle of the duct shall be selected. For larger ducts, this point can be situated closer to the sampling port but not too close to avoid any disturbance of the flow or concentration due to influences from the sampling port.

Regular maintenance of several parts of the monitor
As required by manufacturer As required Lack of fit At least every year and after repair of the analyser As required and when lack of fit > ± 2 % of the range a The particle filter shall be changed periodically depending on the dust loading at the sampling site. During this filter change the filter housing shall be cleaned. Overloading of the particle filter may increase the pressure drop in the sampling line. 10 Expression of results The readings from the analyser are converted to concentrations using the appropriate calibration graph and the results are expressed in milligrams per cubic metre, or parts per million by volume, on dry basis at 273 K and 101,3 kPa. For carbon monoxide (CO) the conversion factors at 273 K and 101,3 kPa are:  1 mg CO/m3 = 0,8 ppm (V/V) CO.  1 ppm (V/V) CO = 1,25 mg CO/m3.  When results are given on wet basis, the concentrations on dry basis are calculated according to the fol-lowing equation, where "H2O" is the water vapour content determined according to [3]: w2dOH 100100 CC−= (1) Where Cd is the concentration of the measurand on dry basis; Cw is the measured concentration of the measurand on wet basis; H2O is the water vapour content measured in gas, in percentage/volume. Concentrations are generally expressed at a reference concentration of O2 defined in the European directives:  11 % for incineration of waste in waste incinerators;  10 % for co-incineration of waste in cement kilns;  3 % for combustion of gas or liquid fuels;  6 % for combustion of solid fuels;  15 % for gas turbines.
