Stationary source emissions – Determination of the mass concentration of total gaseous organic carbon in flue gases from solvent using processes – Continuous flame ionization detector method Executive summary Method of test for the measurement of mass concentration of total gaseous organic carbon (TOC) in flue gases using flame ionization detection. Abstract This European Standard specifies a set of minimum performance requirements for an instrument using flame ionization detection, together with procedures for its calibration and operation, for the measurement of the mass concentration of total gaseous organic carbon (TOC) in flue gases. This standard is suitable for the measurement of gaseous or vapour phase TOC emissions from solvent using processes. The results obtained using this standard are expressed in milligrams per cubic metre as total carbon (mg/m3). This standard is suitable for the measurement of concentrations from 20 mg/m3 to 500 mg/m3 but can be used at lower concentrations. The method specified in this standard can be used as a reference method or, with suitable minimum operational requirements, for continuous monitoring. It can also be used for the calibration of automated measuring systems. An indication of the uncertainty of the measurement is shown in an annex to this standard. Type Method of test History and related standards This European Standard includes the following cross-references: EN 13649, ISO 5725-1, ISO 6879 and ISO 9169.
