| “Continuous monitoring of emissions helps limit the impact of air pollutants in our environment” |

Continuous Emissions Monitoring System Solutions for a Cleaner EnvironmentContinuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are used to continuously collect, record and report data from industrial process operators that produce emissions to air.

CEMS are used as a means to comply with stringent emission limits as regulated by the Environment Agency (EA).

Under the Environmental Permitting Regulations, the EA or local council will refer to European Legislation, the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED 2010/75/EU).

Sites are required to continually measure emission parameters from their chimney-stacks to ensure that they are compliant, as defined in their site permit.

Who Regulates the CEMS Market?In 1998, the EA introduced the MCERTS scheme to provide tighter controls for emissions to air including a technical specification that CEMS had to meet. The criteria of the scheme included: detection limits, response time, linearity, zero and span drift etc. A requirement of the scheme, any CEMS equipment used to monitor emissions must also be approved and certified.

Any new installation seeking a permit will need to comply with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). The EA are looking at bringing all existing permitted sites under the directive.

The IED supersedes seven directives under one directive, creating a more simplified legislative framework: n Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control (IPPC)n Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD)n Waste Incineration Directive (WID) n Solvent Emissions Directiven And three Titanium Dioxide Directives

Under the new changes set by the IED, large combustion plants will be affected by the new emission limit values (ELVs). This will be particularly significant to the future of coal fired power stations.

CEMS OverviewWhether your process is hot, wet, dry or dusty, we offer in-situ and extractive multi-gas analysers to be integrated into complete systems.

In-situ TechniqueIn-situ gas analysers have a very short response time as they directly measure gas from the stack.

Extractive TechniqueSample gas is extracted via a probe, conditioned and transported by a sample line to the gas analyser which is housed in an air conditioned GRP shelter.

The standard extractive CEM system consists of: n Sample probe n Filtern Sample line (umbilical) n Gas conditioning systemn Calibration gas systemn Gas analyser

Typical monitored emissions include: n Sulphur Dioxiden Nitrogen Oxiden Carbon Monoxiden Carbon Dioxiden Hydrogen Chloriden Ammonian Particulate Mattern Mercuryn Volatile Organic Compoundsn Oxygenn Dioxinsn CEM systems can also measure

temperature, air flow, pressure, and moisture

| Where are CEMS Installed? |

Most CEMS installations are utilised in applications where power is generated or where waste is burnt. Fuel consisting of fossil fuels, gas or waste is burnt or heated at very hot temperatures to produce heat or power or both to generate electricity.

CEMS Processes:n Mass Burn Incineratorsn Thermal Treatment - Gasification or Pyrolosisn Boilersn Turbines

Coal Fired Power Plants - An Uncertain Future?In fossil fuel powered plants, environmental protection has seen a greater focus. Although the UK has seen air pollution declining since the 1970’s, the IED has demanded a market for technologies to address Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Sulphur Oxides (SOx). In general, power plants with a greater capacity than 50 MW are required to measure NOx and SOx continuously plus dust and particulate matter (PM) emissions.

Under the new rules set by the IED, coal-fired power stations must either comply with certain emissions limits or opt out – Operators choosing to opt-out are then allowed a certain number of hours of operation before they must be shut down.

Energy from Waste - A Solution to the UK’s Waste ProblemThe UK is faced with the problem of disposing waste as many landfill sites are full. An increased number of EfW sites would decrease the amount of waste being sent to landfill significantly. EfW’s are regarded as a solution to the growing amount of waste in the UK generating up to 70MW of energy.

Municipal thermal treatment sites are required to typically measure SOx, NOx, CO, HCl, NH3, VOC and TPM which now fall under the IED.

EfW sites are seen as a ‘greener’ method of waste disposal as they reduce the emission of the greenhouse gas and methane produced during waste composition from organic matter in landfill sites.

Biomass - A Greener AlternativeThe UK government supports biomass, as a low-carbon form of power generation compared with fossil fuels. The trees and plants used as fuel absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, so if they are regrown under environmentally sound conditions, burning them results in a net carbon saving as it displaces coal and gas.

However, green campaigners point to problems with sourcing sufficient quantities of biomass, much of which has to be imported, and say that without strict regulations, growing trees and crops for biomass can lead to deforestation in developing countries.


| A Solution to the UK’s Growing Waste Problem? |

Currently, the UK generates around 30 million tonnes of municipal waste each year. Of that:n 35% is recycled or composted;n 10% is used to recover energy (EfW);n 55% is sent to landfill

The growing volume of waste, a shortfall of landfill sites and increasing energy prices are making Energy from Waste an obvious solution for a cleaner environment whilst filling the gap of power generation left by the coal fired power stations.

Are We Facing an Energy Crisis?The majority of the UK’s electricity comes from coal fired power plants. In 2011, the IED came into force. The directive gave high polluting coal fired power stations a period of grace to comply with the new requirements highlighted in the directive. If sites choose not comply, they are faced with closure.

The IED will require non-compliant power plants to close by the end of 2016 or after 20,000 operating hours. With low coal prices making coal-fired power plants more profitable than gas, many time-limited coal-fired power plants have raced through their allocated hours already and will close this year.

Estimatations suggest that over 12000MW of generating capacity could be lost from the national grid following the closures in 2016.

There is a real possibility that we could be facing a ‘lights out’ situation.

Join our discussion

Incentives for Capturing Syngas from Gasification ProcessThe Renewables Obligation (RO) places a commitment on UK electricity suppliers to source an increasing proportion of electricity they supply to customers from renewable sources. The gasification process converts municipal solid waste into a usable synthetic gas, or syngas.

Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs) are issued to accredited generating stations based on net renewable generation. The fuel is sampled using the process agreed during the accreditation process, factoring in the calorific value of the fuel being burnt, and this is then used to determine the renewable generation for ROC claim purposes.

More efficient plants will receive up to 2 ROCs per MW/hour of electricity produced.

Why Landfill Isn’t Sustainable: n EU Landfill Directive requires the amount of

waste to be reducedn In 2014, landfill taxation rates have increased

from £72 per ton to £80 per ton to encourage diversion from landfill

n Majority of landfill sites are fulln Methane gas produced by landfill has a GWP

of 21 which means it offers 21 times the greenhouse warming threat than CO2

“ We became aware of a1-cbiss and their emissions monitoring systems through our operational involvement on one of our Contract Energy Management contracts in the North-East of England.

We were in the design phase of a new wood chip burning Power Station and, as relative newcomers to this field, we received a great deal of technical guidance from a1-cbiss regarding WID compliance.

We were particularly impressed by the fact that the CEMS is 100% engineered by a1-cbiss including the CDAS software and also received a very competitive tender return compared to their rivals in this field.

We look forward to working with them during the commissioning phase of the station.

| Case Study |


Power IndustryThe backgroundBecause of ageing equipment and increasing issues surrounding reliability, one of Europe’s leading power suppliers decided to roll out a series of site upgrades to replace their continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) at a coal fired power station and two gas turbine sites across the UK.

The challenge1. To supply CEMS that complies with the

requirements of MCERTS, the large combustion plant directive (LCPD) and the industrial emissions directive (IED), which is due to be enforced in 2016

2. To include a system redundancy option at the coal fired power station to prevent any downtime

3. To monitor temperature, pressure and flow measurement directly from the flue and establish communications between the analysers and Data Acquisition & Reporting Software

4. The coal fired power station required the systems to be installed in the main exit flues (within one concrete windshield), at a height of 75 meters above ground level

5. The incumbent systems were not provided by a1-cbiss, therefore a1-cbiss would have to prove that their solution, service and support is superior to the incumbent supplier

Design and build

Purpose built enclosure

The solutionAt the coal fired power station, a1-cbiss proposed an MCERTS accredited MIR9000 infrared multi-gas analyser that monitors extracted samples on a dry basis, using a SEC sample conditioning system. The SEC sample conditioning system comprised of an in-situ probe, a permeation dryer unit and a temperature, pressure and flow moduleintegrated into the same probe. A permeation dryer eradicates the requirement for long lengths of heated line.

The MIR9000 system MCERTS accreditation is based on the Emission Limit Values (ELV) of the waste incineration directive, and subsequently future proofs the site for the ELV change when the IED comes into force in 2016.

Using a single probe for measuring all of the required parameters reduced the number of penetrations in the flues and consequently lowered the cost of installation.

The option for system redundancy was addressed by proposing a fully automated change-over system with an additional MIR9000 analyser. The system would be fully controlled by the CDAS software, therefore requiring minimal user intervention and eliminating any risk of downtime.

For the gas turbine site, a1-cbiss proposed MIR9000 CLD chemiluminescence and infrared multi-gas analysers that monitor extracted samples on a dry basis, using a SEC sample conditioning system. The SEC sample conditioning system comprised of the same elements as used in the MIR9000 system. The CLD system fully complies with the standard reference method (SRM) EN 14792 for the measurement of NOx. The CLD also has MCERTS certification that complies with the new limits in the IED.

Service & support is integral to the a1-cbiss offering. With the largest service network in the industry and nationwide coverage, the dedicated team of service engineers provide service, repair & maintenance on all equipment supplied.

The resulta1-cbiss manage all aspects of the project from design & build, installation and commissioning, through to on-going service and support.

The coal fired power station saw the installation of nine MIR9000 multi-gas MCERTS accredited analysers comprising of four duty MIR9000 systems and 1 standby MIR9000 with a changeover system for redundancy. The analysers are integrated into a purpose built enclosure, all communicating via the MCERTS certified CBISS Elite Data Acquisition & Reporting software (CDAS) which also incorporates the IVIS hardware panel allowing for QAL 3 functionality.

The gas turbine site saw the installation of seven MIR9000 CLD multi-gas analysers. Again the analysers are integrated into a purpose built enclosure, all communicating via the MCERTS certified CBISS Elite Data Acquisition & Reporting software (CDAS) which also incorporates the IVIS hardware panel allowing for QAL 3 functionality.
