The verification report (p.61-62) states that “Temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare” is measured by thermocouple type s, that the replacement of the thermocouple has been delayed from 25/06/2020 to 11/12/2020 (170 days) and the calibration certificate of the replaced thermocouple confirms the validity of the calibration from 02/04/2019 until April 2022 (p.24). Moreover, the DOE also verified (p24) that due to the delayed replacement, the PP has applied the maximum permissible error of the thermocouple of 1.5 C (accuracy of the thermocouple) in the emission reduction calculations; and the thermocouple has been replaced. The DOE is requested to provide further information on: i) whether the calibration validity for three years is related to a factory calibration validity/certificate for installation of the thermocouple considering that the thermocouple used in enclosed flares is usually replaced every year as per the registered monitoring plan and ii) technical specification of the calibration frequency required by the thermocouple manufacturer.



Appendix 6 of the verification report provides the technical specification, serial number and the calibration dates and validity of the UV sensor and the DOE has verified the serial number of the UV sensor as 84315200 A.1712 027248 and 84315200 A.1712 028130. The DOE is required to provide further technical details of the UV sensor particularly the serial numbers, since the same serial numbers of the UV sensor have been verified during the first and second request for issuance for the CPA 1 (10004-MP1-IRP1 and 10004-MP2-IRP1) while CPA 1 and CPA 2 are located in different landfills, i.e. Coastal Park Landfill and Bellville South Landfill.
