1.1 Acquisition System

Purpose

The MEAC2000 EU is an emission data acquisition system designed to:

● Analyze emission data in accordance with old 13./17. BlmSchV (German antipollution

standards before 2003/2004)

● Analyze emission data at production facilities in accordance with European standards

2000/76/EC (waste incineration) and 2001/80/EC (large combustion plants)

● Display emission data and service data

● Transmit emission data to remote access system (ERT)

● Integrate emission data with the local area network (LAN) and the process control

systems (PLS)

System components

● 1 to 16 decentralised Data Acquisition Units (DAU)

● 1 Emission PC (EPC) with Windows XP / Windows 7

● 1 user-friendly software with Windows interface

Data Acquisition Units (DAU)

The DAU collects the data, processes them, and makes them available to the MEAC2000

Emission PC. The MEAC2000 Emission PC operates under Windows XP and Windows 7,

and it can run on a network. The DAUs are not the only data source of the MEAC2000 Emis-

sion PC; it can also obtain data from a process control system (process control loop) or

transmit data to it.

The DAUs are microprocessors driven data receivers. They can be installed in a decentral-

ized manner and process the following tasks:

● Generating one-minute average (current) values

● Saving status signals

● Posting analog and status signals

The transmission to the Emission PC of the one-minute average values, and the status sig-

nal changes occurs through cable, fiber optics or modem depending on the site. Synchroni-

sation of the connected DAUs is accomplished via the radio controlled clock of the Emis-

sion PC.

to process the classifications of alternative or multi-fuel heatings in accordance with old

13./17. BImSchV and 2000/76/EC or 2001/80/EC.

● Saving all emission data (one-minute average values included; for security, data is

backed-up on redundant drives or external RAID arrays)

● Emission data remote transmission (ERT) by modem to the regulating agency (optional)

● Remote maintenance and support by SICK MAIHAK Customer Service

● Displaying all acquired data (current or historical) in customized graphs or tables

1.4 Software features

1.4.1 General features

The MEAC2000 software is a 32-bit program for Windows XP/7 operating systems, and

offers the highest level of operational and data security.

A state of the art Windows interface includes mouse commands, pull down menus and

simple buttons.

Access authorization with passwords enables different levels of data protection for differ-

ent users.

The MEAC2000 software modular system allows a user to customize the screen layout

(both graphic and alphanumerical boxes) according to his preferences.

1.4.2 Configuration

● Possible configuration settings in MEAC2000 (information for local authorities):

–Plant definition

– Measured values calculation

– Limit definition (all possible limit calculation methods are already programmed in

the software)

– Plant special states (start, stop, etc.)

● Configuration modifications are documented in daily files (log files).

● Definition of operations not intended for local authorities, such as:

– Alarms (preliminary)

– Display and inclusion of process parameters

Each new system configuration can be fully tested using a simulation menu before it is val-

idated by the user. During new configuration and testing, analysis, and classification con-

tinues to run under the configuration currently in force.

1.4.3 Classification

Classification of daily and integrated averages every 3, 10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 240, or

480 minutes is done in accordance with the requirements for analysis of continuous emis-

sions monitoring according to old 13./17. BlmSchV and European standards 2000/76/EC

(waste incineration) and 2001/80/EC (large combustion plants).

The daily, monthly, and yearly EC reports are presented in clear tables.

1.4.4 Emission data

The following data are collected and computed:

1.4.5 Data backup

Data is backed up on the hard disk. For increased security, a redundant hard disk is

suggested.

Tape backup units and magneto-optical reader units are available for external backup.

1.4.6 Internal documentation

All name assignments for measured quantities, sampling points and plants are freely cho-

sen (for example KKS). Pin assignments for DAU plug-in boards are printed directly from the

program. If channels have been swapped over during cabling, it will be easy to correct the

error using the software.

The formulas and constants used are documented at the time of their definition; this helps

clarify the configuration for the user, the regulating authority and the customer service

department.

1.4.7 Alarms

The regulatory advisories concerning larger sites with numerous emission sources often

set a limit (limit value) for the total of all loads (for example the famous SO

2

alarm in many

refineries. Such an analysis is easily done with MEAC2000.

● Minute value (raw) From analog inputs

● Minute value (corrected) Standardised with the oxygen reference value nor-

malized at 0°C, normal pressure, dry

● Average value at 10, 30, 60 min. (raw) Averages over 10, 30, or 60 min.

● Average value at 10, 30, 60 min. (corrected) Standardised according to oxygen reference value

calculation

● Average value at 10, 30, 60 min. (validated) Calculated from the normalized values and after sub-

tracting the confidence interval (I

95

)

● Trend for the average value Extrapolated on the presumption that the plant will

continue to operate as it currently does

● Free loads for average values For monitoring a process in progress

● Limits for average values As required by regulations

● Daily averages (corrected) Average of the current average values at 10, 30, or

60 min.

● Daily averages (validated) Average of the current validated values at 10, 30, or

60 min.

● Trend for the daily average Daily value extrapolated on the presumption that the

plant will continue to operate as it currently does

● Free loads for daily averages For current process control

● Limit value for the daily average As required by regulations
