(Main)Stationary source emissions - Mercury monitoring using sorbent traps
Stationary source emissions - Mercury monitoring using sorbent traps
The purpose of this Technical Specification is to establish performance benchmarks for, and to evaluate the acceptability of, sorbent trap monitoring systems used to monitor total vapour-phase mercury (Hg) emissions in stationary source flue gas streams. These monitoring systems involve continuous repetitive in-flue sampling using paired sorbent traps with subsequent analysis of the time-integrated samples.
This Technical Specification is suitable for both short-term (periodic) measurements and long-term (continuous) monitoring using sorbent traps.
the substance measured according to this Specification is the total vapour phase mercury in the flue gas, which represents the sum of the elemental mercury and gaseous forms of oxidised mercury such as mercury (II) chloride, the mass concentration units of micrograms per dry meter cubed. The analysis range is typically 0,1 to greater than 50 µg/m3.
The sorbent tube approach is intended for use under relatively low particulate conditions (typically less than 100 mg/m3) when monitoring downstream of all pollution control devices, e.g., at coal fired power plants and cement plants. In this case, the contribution of mercury in the particulate fraction is considered to be negligible (typically less than 5 % of total mercury). However, it shall be noted that the sorbent trap does take account of the finest particle fraction that is sampled with the flue gas, in addition to capturing the vapour phase mercury.
This Specification also contains routine procedures and specifications that are designed to evaluate the ongoing performance of an installed sorbent trap monitoring system. The operator of the industrial installation is responsible for the correct calibration, maintenance and operation of this long-term sampling system. Additional requirements for calibration and quality assurance of the long-term sampling system are then defined in EN 14884 and EN 14181.
Emissionen aus stationären Quellen - Quecksilbermonitoring mit Sorptionsfallen
Diese Technische Spezifikation dient dazu, Leistungskenngrößen für die Beurteilung der Eignung von Messsystemen mit Sorptionsfallen (Sorbent Traps) zur Überwachung der gesamten gasförmigen Quecksilber (Hg) Emissionen in Abgasströmen aus ortsfesten Quellen festzulegen. Diese Überwachungssysteme nutzen wiederholte, kontinuierliche Probenahmen aus dem Abgasstrom mit Anreicherung auf paarweise angeordneten Sorptionsfallen und anschließender Analyse der zeitintegrierten Proben.
Diese technische Spezifikation eignet sich gleichermaßen für Kurzzeitmessungen (periodisch) und für Langzeitmessungen (kontinuierlich) unter Verwendung von Sorptionsfallen.
ANMERKUNG Nach der Validierung dieser Technischen Spezifikation wird das Sorptionsfallenverfahren ein alternatives Verfahren sein, das den nachfolgend festgelegten Anwendungsbeschränkungen unterliegt. Bis dahin ist EN 13211 das einzige akzeptierte Referenzverfahren für periodische Kurzzeitmessungen und für Vergleichsmessungen bei der Kalibrierung von kontinuierlich arbeitenden Messeinrichtungen einschließlich Systemen mit Langzeit-Probenahmeeinrichtungen. EN 13211 ist ein nasschemisches Verfahren auf der Grundlage der Absorption von Quecksilber in Absorptionslösungen.
Die nach dieser Spezifikation gemessene Substanz ist das gesamte gasförmige Quecksilber in dem Abgas und repräsentiert die Summe aus elementarem Quecksilbers (Hg0) und gasförmigem oxidierten Quecksilber (Hg2+) wie etwa Quecksilber-(II)-Chlorid, in Massenkonzentrationseinheiten von Mikrogramm (μg) pro Kubikmeter/trocken (m3). Der Messbereich liegt üblicherweise zwischen 0,1 und mehr als 50 μg/m3.
Das Messverfahren ist für Anwendungen mit relativ geringen Partikelkonzentrationen (üblicherweise weniger als 100 mg/m3) bei Messungen hinter allen Abgasreinigungseinrichtungen beispielsweise in Kohlekraftwerken oder Zementwerken vorgesehen. Unter diesen Bedingungen gilt der Anteil an partikelgebundenem Quecksilber als vernachlässigbar (üblicherweise weniger als 5 % des Gesamtquecksilbers). Es ist zu beachten, dass neben den gasförmigen Quecksilberverbindungen auch die feinste Staubfraktion, die bei der Probenahme mit dem Messgut aus dem Abgas entnommen wird, berücksichtigt wird.
Diese Spezifikation enthält darüber hinaus Routineverfahren und Anforderungen für die Beurteilung der Funktionsfähigkeit einer installierten Sorptionsfallen-Probenahmeeinrichtung. Der Betreiber der Industrieanlage ist für die korrekte Kalibrierung, Instandhaltung und den korrekten Betrieb dieser Langzeit-Probenahmeeinrichtung zuständig. Zusätzliche Anforderungen an die Kalibrierung und Qualitätssicherung der Langzeit-Probenahmeeinrichtung sind in EN 14884 und EN 14181 festgelegt.
Émissions de sources fixes - Surveillance du mercure à l'aide de pièges adsorbants
L’objectif du présent document est d’établir des références de performance et d’évaluer l’acceptabilité des systèmes de surveillance à piège adsorbant employés pour surveiller les émissions de mercure (Hg) dans la phase vapeur totale dans les courants d’effluents gazeux de sources fixes. Ces systèmes de surveillance impliquent des échantillonnages répétitifs continus dans le conduit à l’aide de pièges adsorbants appariés, suivis d’une analyse des échantillons intégrés dans le temps.
Le présent document est adapté à la fois aux mesurages à court terme (périodiques) et à la surveillance à long terme (continue) à l’aide de pièges adsorbants.
NOTE Lors de la validation de la présente Spécification technique, la méthode du piège adsorbant constituera une Méthode alternative soumise aux restrictions d’applicabilité définies ci-dessous. Jusqu’à l’heure actuelle, l’EN 13211 est la seule Méthode de référence acceptée à la fois pour les mesurages à court terme (périodiques) et pour l’étalonnage des systèmes de surveillance continue, y compris ceux avec systèmes d’échantillonnage en continu. L’EN 13211 est une approche chimique par voie humide qui repose sur l’absorption du mercure dans des solutions pour impingers.
La substance mesurée conformément à la présente spécification est le mercure total de la phase vapeur dans les effluents gazeux ; il représente la somme du mercure élément (Hg0) et des formes gazeuses de mercure oxydé (Hg2+), comme le chlorure de mercure (II), exprimée en concentration massique sous la forme de microgrammes (μg) par mètre cube sec (m3). La plage analytique est typiquement comprise entre 0,1 µg/m3 et plus de 50 µg/m3.
L’approche par tube adsorbant est destinée à être utilisée dans des conditions de relativement faible teneur en particules (typiquement moins de 100 mg/m3) lors de la surveillance en aval de tous les dispositifs de contrôle de la pollution, par exemple dans les centrales à charbon et les cimenteries. Dans ce cas, la contribution du mercure à la fraction particulaire est considérée comme négligeable (typiquement moins de 5 % du mercure total). Toutefois, il doit être noté que le piège adsorbant tient compte de la fraction particulaire la plus fine qui est échantillonnée avec l’effluent gazeux, en plus de capturer le mercure de la phase vapeur.
La présente spécification contient également des modes opératoires de routine et des spécifications conçus pour évaluer les performances continues d’un système de surveillance à piège adsorbant installé. L’opérateur de l’installation industrielle est responsable de l’étalonnage, de la maintenance et de l’exploitation corrects de ce système d’échantillonnage en continu. Des exigences supplémentaires concernant l’étalonnage et l’assurance qualité du système d’échantillonnage en continu sont définies dans l’EN 14884 et dans l’EN 14181.
Emisije nepremičnih virov - Monitoring živega srebra z adsorpcijsko cevko
Namen te tehnične specifikacije je vzpostaviti merila uspešnosti in oceniti sprejemljivost nadzornih sistemov adsorpcijskih cevk, ki se uporabljajo za monitoring skupnih emisij živega srebra (Hg) v parni fazi pri tokih odpadnih plinov iz nepremičnih virov. Ti nadzorni sistemi vključujejo neprekinjeno ponavljajoče se dimno vzorčenje z uporabo parov adsorpcijskih cevk z naknadno analizo časovno integriranih vzorcev.
Ta tehnična specifikacija je primerna za kratkotrajne (občasne) meritve in za dolgoročen (neprekinjen) monitoring z uporabo adsorpcijskih cevk.
Snov, ki je merjena skladno s to specifikacijo, je skupna emisija živega srebra v odpadnem plinu, ki predstavlja vsoto elementarnega živega srebra in plinastih oblik oksidiranega živega srebra, kot je živosrebrov (II) klorid, ter kubične enote masne koncentracije mikrogramov na suh meter. Obseg analize je običajno od 0,1 do več kot 50 µg/m3.
Pristop cevi s sorbentom je predviden za uporabo pri razmeroma nizkem stanju delcev (običajno manj kot 100 mg/m3) pri monitoringu vseh naprav za uravnavanje onesnaževanja v smeri toka, npr. v elektrarnah na premog in cementarnah. V tem primeru se prispevek živega srebra v frakciji trdnih delcev šteje kot zanemarljiv (običajno manj kot 5 % vsega živega srebra). Opozoriti pa je treba, da je pri adsorpcijski cevki poleg zajetja emisij živega srebra upoštevana tudi najmanjša frakcija delcev, vzorčena z odpadnim plinom.
Ta specifikacija vsebuje tudi rutinske postopke in specifikacije, ki so zasnovani za redno vrednotenje učinkovitosti nameščenega nadzornega sistema adsorpcijskih cevk. Upravljavec industrijske inštalacije je odgovoren za pravilno umerjanje, vzdrževanje in delovanje tega sistema dolgoročnega vzorčenja. Dodatne zahteve za umerjanje in zagotavljanje kakovosti sistema dolgoročnega vzorčenja so nato opredeljene v standardih EN 14884 in EN 14181.

1 Scope
The purpose of this document is to establish performance benchmarks for, and to evaluate the
acceptability of, sorbent trap monitoring systems used to monitor total vapour- phase mercury (Hg)
emissions in stationary source flue gas streams. These monitoring systems involve continuous
repetitive in-flue sampling using paired sorbent traps with subsequent analysis of the time-integrated
samples.
This document is suitable for both short-term (periodic) measurements and long-term (continuous)
monitoring using sorbent traps.
NOTE When this Technical Specification has been validated, the sorbent trap method will be an Alternative
Method subject to the restrictions on applicability defined below. Until that time, EN 13211 is the only accepted
Reference Method for both short-term (periodic) measurements and for calibrating continuous monitoring
systems, including those with long-term sampling systems. EN 13211 is a wet chemistry approach that relies on
absorption of mercury into impinger solutions.
The substance measured according to this specification is the total vapour phase mercury in the flue
0
gas, which represents the sum of the elemental mercury (Hg ) and gaseous forms of oxidized mercury
2+
(Hg ), such as mercury (II) chloride, in mass concentration units of micrograms (μg) per dry meter
3 3
cubed (m ). The analytical range is typically 0,1 to greater than 50 µg/m .
The sorbent tube approach is intended for use under relatively low particulate conditions (typically less
3
than 100 mg/m ) when monitoring downstream of all pollution control devices, e.g. at coal fired power
plants and cement plants. In this case, the contribution of mercury in the particulate fraction is
considered to be negligible (typically less than 5 % of total mercury). However, it shall be noted that the
sorbent trap does take account of the finest particle fraction that is sampled with the flue gas, in
addition to capturing the vapour phase mercury.
This specification also contains routine procedures and specifications that are designed to evaluate the
ongoing performance of an installed sorbent trap monitoring system. The operator of the industrial
installation is responsible for the correct calibration, maintenance and operation of this long-term
sampling system. Additional requirements for calibration and quality assurance of the long-term
sampling system are then defined in EN 14884 and EN 14181.

1 Scope
The purpose of this document is to establish performance benchmarks for, and to evaluate the
acceptability of, sorbent trap monitoring systems used to monitor total vapour- phase mercury (Hg)
emissions in stationary source flue gas streams. These monitoring systems involve continuous
repetitive in-flue sampling using paired sorbent traps with subsequent analysis of the time-integrated
samples.
This document is suitable for both short-term (periodic) measurements and long-term (continuous)
monitoring using sorbent traps.
NOTE When this Technical Specification has been validated, the sorbent trap method will be an Alternative
Method subject to the restrictions on applicability defined below. Until that time, EN 13211 is the only accepted
Reference Method for both short-term (periodic) measurements and for calibrating continuous monitoring
systems, including those with long-term sampling systems. EN 13211 is a wet chemistry approach that relies on
absorption of mercury into impinger solutions.
The substance measured according to this specification is the total vapour phase mercury in the flue
0
gas, which represents the sum of the elemental mercury (Hg ) and gaseous forms of oxidized mercury
2+
(Hg ), such as mercury (II) chloride, in mass concentration units of micrograms (μg) per dry meter
3 3
cubed (m ). The analytical range is typically 0,1 to greater than 50 µg/m .
The sorbent tube approach is intended for use under relatively low particulate conditions (typically less
3
than 100 mg/m ) when monitoring downstream of all pollution control devices, e.g. at coal fired power
plants and cement plants. In this case, the contribution of mercury in the particulate fraction is
considered to be negligible (typically less than 5 % of total mercury). However, it shall be noted that the
sorbent trap does take account of the finest particle fraction that is sampled with the flue gas, in
addition to capturing the vapour phase mercury.
This specification also contains routine procedures and specifications that are designed to evaluate the
ongoing performance of an installed sorbent trap monitoring system. The operator of the industrial
installation is responsible for the correct calibration, maintenance and operation of this long-term
sampling system. Additional requirements for calibration and quality assurance of the long-term
sampling system are then defined in EN 14884 and EN 14181.
