Summary
This document is a technical guide and work package record for the inspection and calibration of emission monitoring equipment at the Ankerlig Power Station, operated by Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. It outlines the safety precautions, required tools, and step-by-step procedures for maintaining the Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS), specifically focusing on the calibration of 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 takes 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 operationS 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 an Ultramat gas analyser and test gas cylinders. The system must be purged with test gas for at least 5 minutes, and if the deviation between the analyser display and the test certificate values exceeds 2%, the analyser must be recalibrated.
- Specific maintenance thresholds are set for the oxygen sensor, which must be replaced if the voltage drops below 6 mV.
