Submission incomplete:
1: The monitoring report (page 5) indicates that the construction of the waste water treatment plant (WWTP-Cañaveralejo) was started in 1997 and plant operationalized in 2002; and the verification report (page 10) states that “the plant was operated as per as the registered PDD”. The PP shall provide information on installation and start of the operation of the CDM project activity (i.e. introduction of the methane recovery system in the existing sludge treatment system of the WWTP) and the DOE provide information which describes how it verified the actual operation of the project activity during the current monitoring period (please refer to PS-PA ver. 02 para 257(b) and VVS-PA para 359(b)).


2: The DOE verified that volumetric fraction of methane in biogas and volumetric biogas flow rate are conducted on wet basis and stated that “As per registered PDD, considering that the measurement points of biogas flow and CH4 volumetric fraction are taken at a small distance between each other, the characteristics of parameters regarding humidity rate, temperature and pressure are similar, and therefore, it is not necessary to bring the measurements to dry basis”. The DOE shall further verify how it considered this to be in compliance with the applicable Tool (Project emissions from flaring, ver. 02, page 11) which requires that if measurements are made on a wet basis, then it shall be converted to dry basis for reporting.


3: The verification report (page 35) states that when an equipment with a delayed calibration has been replaced and no further calibration has been carried out, it is not possible to check whether the error found would be higher than the maximum permissible error, thus the maximum permissible error has been applied. The DOE shall clarify how it considered this approach to comply with the VVS-PA ver.02 paragraph 369 which requires that the maximum permissible error is applied if the results of the delayed calibration do not show any errors in the measuring equipment, or if the error is smaller than the maximum permissible error.
