DL/T 414-2022 in English

The Technical Specification for Environmental Monitoring in Thermal Power Plants, designated as DL/T 414-2022 and published on May 13th, 2022 by the China Electricity Council (CEC), took effect on November 13th, 2022. This standard is specifically formulated to regulate the environmental monitoring procedures in thermal power plants across China. It provides comprehensive guidelines for the installation of monitoring equipment, operational parameters, and data acquisition methods essential for assessing and managing the environmental impact of these facilities.

The document outlines specific requirements concerning emission standards for various pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and carbon monoxide. It also emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with national and local regulations regarding air quality and environmental protection.

In addition to detailing technical specifications for monitoring equipment, the standard addresses data management practices including record-keeping procedures, reporting protocols, and requirements for maintaining accurate historical records. These elements are crucial not only for regulatory compliance but also for improving operational efficiency through better utilization of real-time environmental performance data.
