As an incineration plant operator, E.ON Energy from Waste is committed to ensure adherence to the limit values specified in the notice of approval. This includes constant monitoring of the maximum permitted capacity of the installed flue gas cleaning system by means of continuous measurements.

What should be measured and how, is prescribed by law. The suitability of the equipment used for measurement is also verified. Additionally required are an annual functional test and calibration by a registered measurement institute. The equipment is moreover maintained by the operator and subjected to six-monthly inspections by the manufacturer.

Transparency of the measurements is guaranteed, in the sense that constant transmission of the data collected at the point of emission to the responsible regulatory authority via a data line makes the data publicly available at any time.

Every site is also required to report current values in a medium accessible to citizens, such as a daily paper or the Internet, once a year.
