Thermo technical measurements in view of establishing the concentration of pollutants released into the atmosphere

Abstract

One of the most important environmental problems in Romania is the air pollution, which is an extremely complex phenomenon. Emissions from large industrial facilities represent a considerable share of total emissions of key atmospheric pollutants with significant environmental effects. Limiting emissions of pollutants released into the atmosphere are intended to protect the environment and biosystems as a whole against air pollution from anthropogenic activities. The holders of stationary installations are required to systematically monitor emission levels and ensure their classification within the limits imposed by law. In this sense, the present paper deals with determining the concentration of combustion gases (CO, NOx, SO2) emissions from large combustion installation which operate on solid fuel, process conditions resulting from waste gases and the calculation of the mass flow to identify the level of pollution in the studied area.
