Schedule 1 (Section 14)
Standards and specifications for fuel-burning equipment:
1.All fuel-burning equipment capable of burning more than 100kg/h of coal, biomass or other solid fuel shall be fitted with suitable control equipment to limit dust and grit emissions.2.The control equipment shall be fitted in such a manner to facilitate easy maintenance.3.The permitted concentration of grit and dust emissions from a chimney serving a coal fired boiler equipped with any mechanical draught fan system shall not be more than 250 mg/Nm³ (as measured at 0°C, 101,3 kPa and 12% CO₂). Where the fuel-burning equipment has been declared as a Controlled Emitter in terms of the Air Quality Act, the respective Controlled Emitter Regulations shall apply.The approved methods for testing shall be:US EPA:1. Method 17 - In-Stack Particulate (PM).2. Method 5 - Particulate Matter (PM).ISO standards:ISO 9096: Stationary source emissions - Manual Determination of mass concentration of particulate matter.British standards:BS 3405:1983 Method for measurement of particulate emission including grit and dust (simplified method).The municipality reserves the right to call upon the owner or his or her agent of the fuel burning equipment to have the emissions from such fuel burning equipment evaluated at his or her own expense as may be required by the authorised official.Insulation of chimneys:
All fuel-burning equipment using Heavy Fuel Oil or other liquid fuels with a sulphur content equal to or greater than 2.5 % by weight must be fitted with a fully insulated chimney using either a 25mm air gap or mineral wool insulation to prevent the formation of acid smut. Such chimneys must be maintained in a good state of repair at all times.Wood-fired pizza ovens and other solid fuel combustion equipment:
Wood-fired pizza ovens and other solid fuel combustion equipment shall be fitted with induced draft fans at the discretion of the authorised official.
