Abstract
The aim was to carry out a control of the various methods of calculation of emission (in kg per time unit) of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from fossil-fuelled power plants in order to point out possible sources of errors. A number of discrepancies had been found in former measurement results. The construction of a calibrated, mobile measuring unit which was used for the investigation is described. Short-period parallel measurements were carried out on 6 Danish power plants in order to discover how the emission was calculated in each case, and results were compared. Discrepancies of between -3% and 35% were found. The concentration of flue gas was measured accurately and the measurement of flow was satisfactory but significant differences were found in the measurement of pollutive emission. It is suggested that it is necessary to increase the level of quality assurance in this area and calculation routines should be documented and continuously updated. The three most well-known measuring methods should be thoroughly tested at each power station and the most accurate one chosen for future use. Testing methods involving both manual and computer calculation systems are described. Personnel responsible for the maintenance of the measuring equipment and persons who
