This new law comes into effect in two steps with the new limit 40 GWh/year as of January 1 st 1996 and 25 GWh/year as of January 1 st 1997. As an consequence of this, a large number of small furnaces, 6-10 MW, will be facing new demands regarding measuring and reporting amount of emitted nitrogen oxides. The requirements are the same as for the plants already involved in the NO{sub x} fee system. The economical and practical abilities of these plants to meet the requirements are presently sparsely investigated and the trades concerned reports of widespread uncertainty. With the ambition to enlighten the matter, Vaermeforsk initiated the present study in May 1994. This subsequent report presents economical consequences for different plants concerned with the new fees, a presentation of available measuring instruments together with a cost/benefit analysis of such equipment. A suggested comparative study of the costs, availability and long-time operation of this equipment during the first year of operation is presented. It is suggested that 4-5 plants will be equipped with different measuring techniques and enrolled in the project. The suggested plants are 2-3 oil/gas fired together with 2 bio fired combustion plants. The plants will be equipped with 2 electrochemical measurement systems and 2 `stripped` versions of more established techniques. As a fit measuring system could an equipment able to continuously determine the NO{sub x} level from general running parameters (such as temperature, O{sub 2} concentration, the condition of the combustion air) be in rolled. 12 refs, 3 tabs","","OSTI; NTIS","Stiftelsen foer Vaermeteknisk Forskning, Stockholm (Sweden)","","Sweden","1994-12-01","","Swedish","Technical Report","","","","Other Information: PBD: Dec 1994","","Medium: X; Size: 24 p.","ON: DE95737673","SVF-O-97","","Journal ID: ISSN 0283-2755; Other: ON: DE95737673; TRN: SE9507028","https://doi.org/","","2008-02-12","10114458",""
