Abstract Information :
Best Available Techniques (BAT) Conclusions have brought in (or in some cases will do so in the near future) increasingly stringent emission limits superseding those in the 2013 Industrial Emissions Directive. These new limits cover a range of pollutants, many of which are measured using Standard Reference Methods (SRMs) colloquially referred to as ‘wet chemistry’ methods, as the CEN standardised method requires collection of the sample from the stack in an absorbing solution prior to despatch to an analytical laboratory for quantification (e.g. EN 1911 for monitoring HCl). We take stock of the suitability of such CEN standardised methods in terms of providing the necessary QA/QC to measure decreased emissions under these increasingly stringent emission limits.
