SOURCE TESTING ASSOCIATION I Annual Guide 2019
Emissions to Water and Land Monitoring Compliance
Requirements SWIPs There are no requirements to monitor soil or groundwater however if wet abatement techniques are employed then the Emission Limit Values of Annex VI, Part 5 must be complied with.
Sites must be able to contain and assess any fi re water before being discharged.
Emissions to Air Monitoring
Compliance Requirements SWIPs The IED stipulates that all monitoring of waste incineration / co-incineration processes must comply with the following criteria which are found in Appendix 1 these are:
1The Pollutants to be monitored. 2. The Emission limit thresholds for pollutants. 3. The Frequency of monitoring (periodic/continuous). 4. The minimum sampling periods. 5. The compliance standards for the monitoring techniques.
Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM)
The EA stipulate that all CEM systems must have relevant MCERTS certifi cation, details of approved systems can be found at
www.csagroupuk.org/services/mcerts/mcerts-product- certifi cation/mcerts-certifi ed-products/ . As a note of caution, just because a CEMS system has MCERTS approval, it does not mean that it is the correct system for an IED Waste Incineration process with the emission limit levels. The CEMS system may have been specifi cally designed to monitor emissions from a large coal fi red power plants as an example, and not an incineration process, so the ranges of the certifi cation may not meet the ranges required for a process with the limits stated below (Certifi ed range should be no more than 1,5X the Daily Emission Limit Value). As another example, a dust sensor may have an MCERTS Certifi cate, but not have QAL 1 approval as it is a Class 2 sensor, having been specifi cally designed to meet the requirements of the MCERTS Performance Standards for Automated Dust Arrestment-Plant Monitors.
It is vital that SWIPs operators take into account the complex emissions monitoring requirements for this sector at the planning stage of a new installation. It is good practice to employ an expert within the fi eld of emission monitoring who will be able to provide guidance on choosing the correct type of CEMs systems and advise on the cost of periodic sampling and the administration involved in auditing the results and accuracy of CEMS. The right type of CEMS system not only allows the site operator to monitor and prove their compliance with permit conditions set, it can also be a valuable process control tool as well, ensuring that the process operates cleanly and effi ciently.
