Annex No 2 to Government Decree No. 354 / 2002 Coll.
SPECIFIC EMISSIONS LIMITS FOR SPORTING DEVICES
1. Determination of specific emission limits for the joint incineration of waste with fuel in co-incineration plants
If the total specific emission limit "C 'of the relevant pollutants is not specified in this Annex, the calculation shall be made using the mixing rule formula as follows:

Vwaste x Cwaste + Vproc x CprocVWaste + Vproc = C
Waste: the volume of combustion gases resulting from combustion only of waste determined according to the waste with the lowest calorific value specified in the permit and related to 273,15 K, a pressure of 101,32 kPa and 11% oxygen in dry gas. In the case of combustion of waste oil it refers to 273,15 K, a pressure of 101,32 kPa and 3% oxygen in dry gas. If the released heat resulting from the incineration of hazardous waste is less than 10% of the total heat released by the installation, the waste shall be calculated from the theoretical amount of waste, the incineration of which would achieve 10% of the released heat from the determined value of the total released heat.
Cwaste: the specific emission limits set for waste incineration plants in Annex 5 to this Regulation.
Vproc: the volume of flue gas generated in the combustion plant of authorised fuels (excluding co-incineration waste) in relation to the reference oxygen content determined by the type of fuel. If the reference oxygen content is not determined for a given type of installation, the actual oxygen content of the flue gas shall be used. In this case, the technically unjustified dilution of flue gas is not permitted by the addition of air. The reference conditions are further 273,15 K and a pressure of 101,32 kPa.
Cproc: values of the specific emission limits given in the tables of this Annex for selected technologies for the incineration of authorised fuels without waste. For other installations not listed here, the emission limits set out in the permit issued by the inspection shall apply. If these are not determined, the actual emission mass concentrations shall be used.
C: the value of the total emission limit of the relevant pollutant which replaces the values of the specific emission limits set out in Annex 5 to this Regulation. The reference oxygen content for the expression of emission limits shall be calculated on the basis of the abovementioned partial volumes from the reference oxygen content for the incineration of waste referred to in Article 10 (8) and the reference oxygen content determined for the combustion of the relevant permitted fuels or the reference oxygen content established for the relevant technology.
2. Conditions for co-incineration of waste
2.1. Conditions for co-incineration of waste in cement furnaces
The measurement results and emission limits refer to standard conditions - temperature 273,15 K and pressure 101,32 kPa, reference oxygen content 10% and dry gas.
The above values "C 'represent the daily average for continuous measurements. The sampling periods and other requirements for one-off measurements are set out in Section 10. All data are given in mg / m3 except for dioxins and furans in ng TE / m3. Half-hour mean values are only intended to calculate daily mean values.

(1) Cement furnaces which are in operation and are authorised under the legislation in force until the date of entry into force of this Regulation and which would start co-incineration of waste after 28 December 2004 are not considered as new co-incineration plants.
Note:
1. Exemptions for NOx for existing wet cement processes or for furnaces which burn less than 3 t / h of waste may be approved until 1 January 2008 at the latest, in such a way that the permitted emission limit for NOx is not more than 1200 mg / m3. Exemptions for solid pollutants for cement kilns which burn less than 3 t / h of waste may be granted until the same date, in such a way that the permitted emission limit for solid pollutants is not more than 50 mg / m3.
2. Furthermore, concessions may be approved where TOC and SO2 emissions do not result from waste incineration.
3. Emission limits for carbon monoxide (CO) may be established.
