Comparative Emission Standards for Waste Incinerators
| Pollutant (Daily Average, dry gas, standardized O₂) | China GB 18484-2020 | EU IED 2010/75/EU (Annex VI) | Panama MINSA Decreto 293/2004 (Annex I) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Dust (PM) | ≤ 20 mg/m³ | ≤ 10 mg/Nm³ | Similar to EU Annex VI (≤ 10 mg/Nm³) |
| CO | ≤ 50 mg/m³ | ≤ 50 mg/Nm³ (with half-hourly limits) | ≤ 50 mg/Nm³ |
| Total Organic Carbon (TOC) | Not separately listed | ≤ 10 mg/Nm³ | ≤ 10 mg/Nm³ |
| HCl | ≤ 10 mg/m³ | ≤ 10 mg/Nm³ | ≤ 10 mg/Nm³ |
| HF | Not listed | ≤ 1 mg/Nm³ | ≤ 1 mg/Nm³ |
| SO₂ | ≤ 80 mg/m³ | ≤ 50 mg/Nm³ | ≤ 50–80 mg/Nm³ (depending on category) |
| NOx (as NO₂) | ≤ 200 mg/m³ | ≤ 200 mg/Nm³ (new plants >6 t/h) | ≤ 200 mg/Nm³ |
| Hg & Compounds | ≤ 0.05 mg/m³ | ≤ 0.05 mg/Nm³ | ≤ 0.05 mg/Nm³ |
| Cd + Tl | ≤ 0.05 mg/m³ | ≤ 0.05 mg/Nm³ | ≤ 0.05 mg/Nm³ |
| Sb, As, Pb, Cr, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, V (sum) | ≤ 0.5 mg/m³ | ≤ 0.5 mg/Nm³ | ≤ 0.5 mg/Nm³ |
| Dioxins/Furans (PCDD/F, I-TEQ) | ≤ 0.5 ng TEQ/m³ (long-term sampling) | ≤ 0.1 ng I-TEQ/Nm³ (long-term sampling) | ≤ 0.1 ng TEQ/m³ |
Key Differences & Summary
-
Particulate Matter (PM): EU and Panama are stricter (10 mg), China allows 20 mg.
-
SO₂: China permits 80 mg, while EU and Panama set tighter limits (50 mg).
-
TOC & HF: Not separately listed in China’s GB standard; clearly defined in EU and Panama.
