Читать книгу Continuous Emission Monitoring - James A. Jahnke - Страница 60

In Brazil, the national regulatory body responsible for setting emission limits and monitoring requirements is Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente (CONAMA). National emission limits were established for stationary sources in Resolution 382 (CONAMA 2006), complemented by Resolution 386 (CONAMA 2011). According to Resolution 382, Article 5, monitoring is considered continuous when the pollution source is monitored at least 67% of the operational time during a one‐year period. A valid day emission rate must have monitoring data for at least 75% of the day’s operational time.

There are no national protocols for CEM system certification or quality assurance. These are set instead by state licensing agencies (see Annex 6 Resolution 386). Accordingly, CEM validation and quality assurance vary between the states. As examples, the federal states of São Pablo and Rio de Janeiro require CEM systems for waste incineration plants and for larger combustion sources. In the federal state of São Palo, where CEM system installations are the most prevalent. A validation standard based on on the European standard EN14181 has been applied. (Environmental‐Expert 2020). Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Palo (CETSB) is the regulatory body for source emissions in Sao Paulo.
