What is BS EN 14791 - Mass concentration of sulphur oxide about ?
BS EN 14791 specifies the standard reference method (SRM) for the determination of the sulphuric oxide SO2 in flue gases emitted to the atmosphere from ducts and stacks. It is based on a sampling system and two analytical principles: ion chromatography and the Thorin method.
BS EN 14791 specifies criteria for demonstration of equivalence of an alternative method to the SRM by application of EN 14793:2017.
BS EN 14791 has been validated during field tests on waste incineration, co-incineration and large combustion installations. It has been validated for sampling periods of 30 min in the range of 0,5 mg/m3 to 2 000 mg/m3 of SO2 for an ion-chromatography variant and 5 mg/m3 to 2 000 mg/m3 of SO2 for the Thorin method according to emission limit values laid down in the Directive 2010/75/EU.
Note 1: Emission limit values for SO2 laid down in the Directive 2010/75/EU are in the range of 30 mg/m3 to 800 mg/m3. The emission limit values of EU Directives are expressed in units of mg/m3 of SO2 on a dry basis and at standard conditions of 273 K and 101,3 kPa.
Note 2: The characteristics of installations, the conditions during field tests and the values of repeatability and reproducibility in the field are given in Annex A. 2 Normative references
Who is BS EN 14791 - Mass concentration of sulphur oxide for ?

- Researchers and scientists
Why should you use BS EN 14791– Mass concentration of sulphur oxide ?
Stationary sources of air pollution, such as factories, refineries, boilers, and power plants, emit a variety of pollutants.
BS EN 14791 describes a method to calculate sulphuric oxide SO2 presence in flue gases emitted to the atmosphere from ducts and stacks and provides several performance characteristics, together with the associated performance criteria for measurement.
BS EN 14791 describes a method described in a written procedure containing the means and procedures required to sample and analyse, such as the field of application, principle or reaction, definitions, equipment, procedures, results, other requirements, and measurements.
Overall, BS EN 14791 specifies the standard reference method (SRM) based on a sampling system for sampling the sulphuric oxide SO2 in flue gases emitted in the atmosphere from ducts and stacks that reduce pollution caused by harmful gases.
