Summary
This document is a work package (Doc No.: 192/E/6, Revision 2) for the inspection and calibration of emission monitoring equipment within the Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) at the Ankerlig Power Station. It outlines the safety precautions, required tools, and step-by-step technical procedures for checking general equipment and calibrating NO, CO, and SO2 analysers using an Ultramat gas analyser.
Key insights
- The inspection and calibration of emission monitoring equipment is a yearly requirement that is planned to take approximately 3 hours and requires one competent person.
- General equipment checks include testing indication panel lamps, cleaning the compartment with a vacuum cleaner, verifying the operation of the heater and air conditioner, and inspecting filters for fouling, which is indicated by brown or yellow discoloration.
- The procedure for calibrating NO, CO, and SO2 analysers involves using a gas bottle and an Ultramat gas analyser. The system must be purged with test gas for at least 5 minutes; if the analyser display readings deviate by more than 2% from the test certificate values, the analyser must be recalibrated.
- Specific maintenance thresholds are defined for the oxygen sensor, which must be replaced if its voltage drops below 6 mV.
