13.040.40 - Stationary source emissions

This document describes a method for the sampling and measurement of mercury of both vapour and solid phases on stationary source flue gas streams. Mercury generally exists as elemental (Hg0) and oxidized (Hg2+) forms, both in the vapour and solid phases in flue gases. The vapour-phase (gaseous) mercury is captured either isokinetically or non-isokinetically with a gold amalgamation trap after removing solid-phase (particulate) mercury with a filter. Because gold amalgamation trap captures only ...view more

This European Standard specifies a manual method for the determination of the concentration of fluorinated compounds expressed in HF. Two cases are presented:
- first case: the measurand is the concentration of hydrofluoric acid and gaseous and bound to particulates fluorides,
- second case: the measurand is the concentration of hydrofluoric acid and gaseous fluorides.
Three analytical techniques are proposed: ionometry, spectrophotometry and ion-exchange chromatography.

This Standard contains specifications for active sampling of bioaerosols from exhaust air flowing through a defined cross-section of a stack. It defines general principles that have to be taken into account during an isokinetic sampling campaign for bioaerosols by bubbling the exhaust air through a specific impinge designed for emission measurements.
In the Standard the application with culturable organisms is specified but the same principle might be applicable for other analysis methods (e.g....view more

This document applies to two types of instruments commonly used for dust arrestment plant control purposes:
— filter dust monitors that are configured in mass concentration units (e.g. mg/m3) and is used for dust arrestment control purposes;
— filter leakage monitors that indicate a change in the emission levels or a change in the magnitude of the dust pulses creat...view more

EN-ISO 21904-4 specifies two methods for establishing the minimum air volume flow rate. One method is dedicated for use with captor hoods, nozzles and slot nozzles with a ratio of slot length to hose diameter of 8:1 or less. The other method is dedicated for use with on-gun extraction devices.These methods are not applicable to down draught tables.

ISO 21904-1 defines the general requirements for ventilation equipment used to capture and separate fumes generated by welding and allied processes, e.g. arc welding and thermal cutting.This document also specifies the test data to be marked on the capture devices.It applies to the design and manufacture of parts of the equipment including hoods for welding, ducting, filter units, air movers, systems that inform of unsafe operation and workplace practices to ensure safe working with regard to ex...view more

This document specifies a manual method of measurement including sampling and different analytical methods for the determination of the mass concentration of ammonia (NH3) in the waste gas of industrial plants, for example combustion plants or agricultural plants. All compounds which are volatile at the sampling temperature and produce ammonium ions upon dissociation during sampling in the absorption solution are measured by this method, which gives therefore the volatile ammonia content of the ...view more

This document specifies procedures for establishing quality assurance for automated measuring systems (AMS) installed on industrial plants for the determination of the concentration of greenhouse gases in flue and waste gas and other flue gas parameters.

This document specifies the use of FTIR spectrometry for determining the concentrations of individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in waste gases from non-combustion processes. The method can be employed to continuously analyse sample gas which is extracted from ducts and other sources. A bag sampling method can also be applied, if the compounds do not adsorb on the bag material, and is appropriate in cases where it is difficult or impossible to obtain a direct extractive sample. The princi...view more
