APPENDIX 1

DETERMINING THE POWER COEFFICIENT (Kp), REGIONAL AND AREA COEFFICIENT (Kv), AND THE METHOD FOR CALCULATION OF PERMISSIBLE MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION OF SO₂, NO_X AND DUST IN THE EMISSION OF THE THERMAL POWER PLANTS USING COAL OR OIL FUEL TO APPLY THE VIETNAM STANDARD TCVN7440:2005&area=2&type=39&match=False&vc=True&lan=1" target="_blank">TCVN 7440 : 2005
(Issued with the Decision No. 07/2005/QD-BTNMT dated 20/9/2005 of the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment)

1. Formula to calculate the maximum permissible concentration

The maximum permissible concentration of pollutants (SO₂, NO_X and dust) of the emission in thermal power plants using coal or oil fuel discharged into the air is calculated as follows:

C_max = C_tc x K_p x K_v

In which:

C_max is the maximum permissible concentration of pollutants of the emission in thermal power plants using coal or oil fuel discharged into the air and is measured in milligram per cubic meter of emission at standard conditions (mg / Nm3);

C_tc is the maximum permissible concentration of pollutants specified in the Vietnam Standard TCVN7440:2005&area=2&type=39&match=False&vc=True&lan=1" target="_blank">TCVN 7440:2005;

K_p is the power coefficient of thermal power plants (the coefficient depends on the scale of waste source).

K_v is the coefficient of building regions and areas of power thermal plants

2. Value of Kp coefficient

The value of Kp coefficient is specified in Table 1 below.

Table 1: The value of Kp coefficient corresponding to capacity of thermal power plants

P is the total capacity of the thermal power plants which are newly built, including one generating unit or a lot of generating units. For the expansion projects to raise the raise the capacity of active thermal power plants, P is the total capacity of new generating units (total expansion capacity of plants).

3. Value of Kv coefficient

The value of Kv coefficient is specified in Table 2 below.

Table 2: The value of Kv coefficient is corresponding to the building regions and areas of power thermal plants

Note:

(1) The urban areas determined under the provisions in the Decree No. 72/2001/ND-CP dated 5/10/2001 of the Government.

(2) The ecologically sensitive areas are the national parks, conservation areas, biosphere reserves, conservation areas of breeds and species, conservation areas of landscape, cultural and historical monuments that are established under the decision of the Prime Minister or the line ministries.

(3) Where the thermal power plants are located in region 4 but the distance between the thermal power plants and the boundary of regions 1, 2 and 3 is smaller or equal to 5 km, the Kv area coefficient corresponding to the regions 1, 2 and 3 (Kv is 0.6, 0.8 and 1 respectively) shall apply.
