What is PD CEN/TS 17405 about?
PD CEN/TS 17405 discusses stationary source emissions with a focus on volume concentration of carbon dioxide. PD CEN/TS 17405 specifies the reference method (RM) for the measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) based on the infrared (IR) absorption principle.
PD CEN/TS 17405 includes the sampling and the gas conditioning system and allows the determination of the CO2 volume concentration in flue gases emitted to the atmosphere from ducts and stacks. PD CEN/TS 17405 applies for periodic monitoring and for the calibration or control of automated measuring systems (AMS) permanently installed on a stack, for regulatory or other purposes.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17405 for?
PD CEN/TS 17405 on the determination of CO2 volume concentration determination applies to entities such as power plants, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, food processing plants and other heavy industrial sources. PD CEN/TS 17340 is useful for:
- Environmental regulatory bodies
- Industrial installations emitting gases
- Safety and regulatory authorities
- Laboratories
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17405?
PD CEN/TS 17405 specifies the measurement of the total CO2 concentration and does not differentiate between biogenic and fossil-derived CO2. PD CEN/TS 17405 specifies the characteristics to be determined and the performance criteria to be fulfilled by portable automated measuring systems (P-AMS) using the IR measurement method.
PD CEN/TS 17405 discusses the description of the measuring system, performance characteristics, suitability of the measuring system for the measurement task, field operation, ongoing quality control, expression of results, and measurement report.
