Environmental protection and regional development Minister r. vējonis annex 4 Cabinet 24 May 2011 rules no. 401 waste co-incineration plants calculate emissions limit values laid down in the air i. General conditions 1. If not specified in this annex for specific emission limit values of the particular case, use this calculation formula is included in annex.
2. Emission limit values for exhaust gas resulting from the co-incineration process, each individual pollutant, as well as carbon monoxide is determined using the following formula: vwaste × cwaste + Vproc × Cproc vwaste + = C vwaste Vproc: exhaust gas volume resulting from the incineration of the waste. It shall be determined, taking into account only the waste with the lowest calorific value specified in the permit, which is standardized in accordance with the conditions of these rules. If after hazardous waste incineration to generate heat, which is less than 10% of the total heat generated by the plant, Vwaste must be calculated from the notional amount of hazardous waste incineration which would result in 10% of the total heat generated in the combustion process;
Cwaste: emission limit values set for waste incineration plants and certain pollutants carbon monoxide (annex 2);
Vproc: exhaust gas volume resulting from the incineration of fuel (waste). It set off the oxygen content in accordance with Cabinet of Ministers determine the order in which prevented, controlled and controllable air pollutant emissions from stationary sources of pollution;
