5.4 Calculation of emission rate

  5.4.1 Exhaust gas composition in terms of SO2 (ppm)/CO2 (%) should be measured at an appropriate position after the EGC unit and that measurement should be in accordance with the requirements of section 6 as applicable.

  5.4.2 SO2 (ppm) and CO2 (%) to be continuously monitored and recorded onto a data recording and processing device at a rate which should not be less than 0.0035 Hz.

  5.4.3 If more than one analyser is to be used to determine the SO2/CO2 ratio, these should be tuned to have similar sampling and measurement times and the data outputs aligned so that the SO2/CO2 ratio is fully representative of the exhaust gas composition.
