Notes:
1. A waiver can be obtained for NOX for urban waste incinerators already existing on 14 February 1998 provided
that the daily average is lower than 20 mg/m 3 :
2. A waiver can be obtained for NOX until 1 January 2010 for urban waste incinerators with nominal capacity > 6 t/h
and lower than 16 t/h already existing on 14 February 1998, provided that the daily average is lower than 400
mg/m 3 .
3. Emission standard concentrations (mg/dscm, ppmv) are corrected to 7% oxygen, dry basis at standard conditions.
mg/dscm = milligram per dry standard meter 3 , ng = nanogram, ppm = parts per million.
4. Construction or modifications that were undertaken pursuant to existing (or previous) FGS are not subject to these
requirements. These criteria are not intended to require retrofitting of MWC units.
5. Dioxins/furans limits for units rated >250 tpd capacity: MWC with electrostatic precipitator (ESP)-60 ng/dscm;
MWC with non-ESP-30 ng/dscm.
