For this purpose, the operator has to equip the plants with suitable measuring and evaluation equipment before commissioning. (2) Measuring devices for the moisture content are not necessary to the extent that the exhaust gas before the determination of the mass concentration of the emissions is dried. If, due to the design and mode of operation of wet exhaust gas desulphurisation systems, the result is that the moisture content of the exhaust gas at the measuring point assumes a constant value, due to the saturation state of the exhaust gas and the constant exhaust gas temperature. the competent authority shall dispense with the continuous measurement of the moisture content and shall allow the use of the value determined in individual measurements. In such a case, the operator shall carry out the verification of the existence of the abovementioned conditions during the calibration and shall submit it to the competent authority upon request. The operator shall keep the evidence for five years after calibration. (3) The total dust emission shall be shown without the contribution of the sulphur trioxide to the measured value.

(4) By way of derogation from § 20 (1), gas turbines and gas engines powered by natural gas, with a thermal output of less than 100 megawatts, shall be used. Measurements for the detection of emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide are not necessary if other tests, in particular the process conditions, ensure that the emission limit values are complied with.

Section 22 Evaluation and evaluation of continuous measurements

(1) During the operation of the installation, the half-hourly average value shall be formed from the measured values determined in accordance with § 20 for each successive half-hour, and shall be converted to the reference oxygen content in accordance with Appendix 4. For substances whose emissions are reduced and limited by means of exhaust gas purification devices, the conversion of the measured values may only be carried out for the periods in which the measured oxygen content is higher than the reference oxygen content. From the half-hourly average values, the daily average value, relative to the daily operating time, is to be formed for each day. Any day in which more than six half-hourly average values are invalid due to disruption or maintenance of the continuous measurement system is invalid. Special arrangements shall be made by the competent authority for operations in which it is not possible to prevent the exceeding of two times the emission limits laid down. If more than 10 days a year are invalid on account of such situations, the competent authority shall require the operator to take appropriate measures to improve the reliability of the continuous monitoring system. (2) The results of the continuous measurements shall be drawn up by the operator for each calendar year, and shall be submitted to the competent authority by 31 March of the following year. The operator shall keep the report referred to in the first sentence and the associated records of the measuring instruments five years after the end of the reporting period after the first sentence. In so far as the measurement results of the competent authority are available by means of appropriate telemetric transmission, the obligation to submit the measurement report shall be deleted. (3) The emission limit values shall be complied with if:

1.

no result of a daily and half-hourly average value validated in accordance with Appendix 3 exceeds the relevant emission limit value in accordance with § § 4 to 10, and

2.

no result shall be less than the relevant degree of sulphur separation in accordance with § 4 or § 6.

(4) The operator shall calculate the annual average values in accordance with § 11 on the basis of the validated daily average values; for this purpose, the daily average values of a calendar year shall be counted together and shall be divided by the number of daily average values. The operator shall, for each calendar year up to 31 March of the following year, provide proof of the annual average values and shall submit it to the competent authority upon request. The evidence shall be kept five years after the end of the detection period. (5) The emission limit values in accordance with § 11 shall be complied with if no result of an annual mean value determined in accordance with paragraph 4 exceeds an emission limit value according to § 11.
