Multi-firing units
74 § if in a large combustion plant is used more than
a fuel and this means that for any of
pollutants sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and
dust applies various constraint values according to §§ 44-73,
Instead, it weighted constraint value as follows
of 75 – 79 sections apply to pollution.
§ 75 Of each pollutant for the purposes of §§ 44-73
covered by various restriction values from a
' multi-fuel firing shall be determined in a bränslevägt
the restriction value by
1. for each fuel used in the incineration plant
identify which limit value according to §§ 44-73
apply for the fixed effect (the fuel input value),
2. for each fuel used in the incineration plant
multiply the input value of the fuel with a number that indicates the
through the fuel input power (output value) and
get out the fuel's share value,
3. for each fuel used in the incineration plant
divide the fuel's share value with the sum of all the
environmental impact values and thus obtain the fuel
Balancing value, and
4. Add all use fuels the balancing values and
get out the weighted constraint value (the number of
milligram per cubic meter of normal dry gas) for the
emissions of the pollution from flerbränsleanläggningen.
76 section If a ' multi-fuel firing is a 2013-facility and
one of the fuels is a raffineringsrestbränsle used
separately or jointly with other fuels, it should
each pollutant is identified which of the fuels
that is the dominant fuel. The controlling fuel is
the fuel that gives maximum limit value in accordance with paragraphs 44 to 49
(pollutant sulphur dioxide), §§ 55-62 (pollution
nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide) and sections 68 to 70 (pollution
dust). If there are two or more fuels for the same
pollution gives the maximum limit value, the fuel
with the largest input power is considered to be the
controlling fuel for the pollution.
When the dominant fuel for contamination is
identified, a bränslevägt limit value for
the contamination be determined under section 77 or 78 instead of the
as stated in paragraph 75.
section 77 Of the controlling fuel according to § 76 50
percent or more of total thermal input fuels,
to apply the same limit value as bränslevägt
the limit value applicable to that type of fuel that the
controlling fuel constitutes.
section 78 Of the controlling fuel according to § 76 represents less
than 50% of the total thermal input fuels,
the weighted constraint value determined by
1. for each fuel used in the incineration plant
identify which throttle rate under 44-49,
55-62 and 68 to 70 sections (the fuel input value),
2. multiply the controlling fuel throttle value
with number 2 and thus obtain the controlling fuel
Dual input value,
3. reduce the controlling dual fuel input value with
the number that corresponds to the minimum of the used fuel
the input values and thus obtain the controlling
the fuel-adjusted the input value,
4. multiply the controlling fuel adjusted
the input value is a number that corresponds to the controlling
the fuel's thermal input (output value) and get
until the controlling share of the fuel value,
5. for any other fuel used in
incinerator multiply fuel input value
with a number that corresponds to the fuel's thermal input
(output value) and in this way obtain the fuel's share value,
6. for each fuel used in the incineration plant
divide the fuel effect with the sum of all the
environmental tillförselvärden and thus obtain the fuel
Balancing value, and
7. Add all use fuels the balancing values and
get out the weighted constraint value (the number of
milligram per cubic meter of normal dry gas) for the
emissions of the pollution from flerbränsleanläggningen.
79 section For emissions of sulphur dioxide from a
' multi-fuel firing is a 2013-holding in a

with other fuels should be, rather than what is said in the 74-78
§ §, which limit value that it may not be placed
1. more than 1,000 milligrams of sulphur dioxide per cubic metre of normal
dry gas, if the plant is a 2002-establishment, or

incineration plants shall be applied to the revised
combustion plant part. The emission requirements are to be applied
as far as fixed effect.
