The new BREF LCP applications aim to radically reduce the release of pollutants into the atmosphere. In particular, theministerial order of August 3, 2018 requires the implementation of these conclusions.
Find out how to obtain certified measurements and declare your emissions.
August 17, 2021 marks a crucial milestone for large combustion plants. Four years after the publication of the conclusions concerning Best Available Techniques (BAT), the BREF LCP has now become the mandatory reference.
This reference document details the BATs and associated performance levels for these installations, illustrating Fuji Electric's commitment to innovation and sustainability. We continue to put forward reliable, quality solutions to meet the needs of industry.
The implementation of BREF LCP is motivated by a major environmental challenge. This challenge is relevant not only on a French scale, but also on a broader European scale.
The main aim of the concrete applications of this reference document is to considerably limit emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. These pollutants include, in particular, solid particles, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.
In 2015, sulfur oxides accounted for a third of all industrial emissions in France.
In particular, the ministerial order of August 3, 2018 requires the implementation of these conclusions.
On the one hand, the Continuous EmissionsMonitoring System (CEMS) installed on site must have been certified QAL1 by TÜV (Germany) or MCERTS (UK ) in its entirety.
The standard refers to a "certified system" as a "complete metrological chain, tested and certified to EN15267-3". This chain includes several crucial steps to guarantee the reliability of the measurement process.
First, fume extraction is essential, followed by the conditioning system. Next comes theanalyser gas system itself, a key component. It's important to stress that this analyser cannot be certified on its own; it's an integral part of the certified system as a whole.
On the other hand, the Data Acquisition and Processing System (DAHS) is now the focus of particular attention, especially for reporting emissions not only under normal operating conditions (NOC), but also under non-normal operating conditions (OTNOC).
Fuji Electric has a wealth ofexperience and expertise in the two related fields of robust, certified measurement with Fuji CEMS, and standardized data management and reporting with Fuji DAHS.
Since 1995, Fuji Electric France has been the European headquarters for industrial instrumentation and environmental solutions, including exhaust gas measurement. But much further upstream, the Fuji Electric group has been a global leader in the supply of CEMS of the highest quality for 65 years.
Fuji Electric France is the European engineering, integration and service center for these gas analysis activities.
For more than 20 years, this technical center based in Clermont-Ferrand has been developing, manufacturing, QAL1 (TÜV) certified and designing CEMS gas analysis systems, and then maintaining these systems. Whether measuring gaseous emissions, flue gas flow or particle concentrations, an expert, dedicated, efficient and responsive after-sales service team also provides maintenance and service for over 150 CEMS in France.
Fuji Electric France is an active member of GIMELEC Analyse (an association of professional companies in the industrial analysis sector).
Our engineers played a crucial role in developing the algorithms for the latest version of Fuji DAHS (v7). This task was not carried out alone, but in close collaboration with various players in the industry.
We also benefited from the invaluable contributions of FEDENE's user members. These include the Groupement des Entreprises des Services Energie et Environnement, whose contributions were essential.
Gimelec Analyse and Fedene have co-published the "Fedene/Gimelec Guide to the acquisition, processing and reporting of continuous measurements of the main air pollutants".
The new Fuji DAHS data acquisition and processing system, "Fuji CEM Systemv7", is a major development in both form and content. Fully in line with Fuji Electric's digital transformation policy, this development benefits from the latest technological advances in terms of digital, wireless and secure cloud data communications, and the ability to sendalerts by e-mail or SMS. But above all, its raison d'être is strict compliance with current and forthcoming French and European regulations , such as EN17255.
At the heart of the Fuji CEM System V7 suite, the Fuji DAHS data acquisition and processing system complies with the new EN17255 standard: Fuji FBOX
