Transportable Continuous Emission Monitoring System Operational Protocol: Instrumental Monitoring of SO2, NOx, CO2, and O2 Effluent Concentrations

摘要

A transportable continuous emission monitoring system (TCEMS) capable of providing reliable and accurate effluent measurements of SO2, NO/NOx, CO2, and/or O2 has been developed and field tested at numerous industrial and utility boilers. This report presents the operational protocol for the TCEMS, including set-up, operation, calibration, quality assurance, and data reduction procedures. The TCEMS and the operational protocol are designed for use in conducting source emission tests, continuous emission monitor (CEM) relative accuracy tests, and stratification tests. Extensive field testing has shown that the TCEMS can be set up, calibrated, and recording accurate and precise data within two to four hours after arrival at the site.
