CDM project activity/programme of activities issuance request review form (CDM-ISSR-FORM) (Version 03.0)

Project title of the project activity or programme of activities (PoA) for which issuance is requested	Catalytic N2O Abatement Project in the Tail Gas of the Nitric Acid Plant of the Pakarab Fertilizer Ltd (PVT) in Multan, Pakistan (0557)
DOE that requested for issuance and date of request	DNV (26 Aug 08)
Please indicate, in accordance with paragraphs 65 of the CDM modalities and procedures, for which reason(s) you request review
Incompetence
Please indicate reasons for the request for review
1. The applied methodology and the revised monitoring plan require that baseline emissions are limited to the design capacity of the existing nitric acid plant, which is 600 t/day. However, the actual HNO3 production has exceeded the design capacity on 86 out of the 94 operating days for Line A and 80 out of the 124 operating days for Line B. Clarification is required on how the DOE verified that this requirement had been met. 2. Clarification is required on how the DOE has verified the plant output of HNO3 based on the monitored volume flow adjusted from density/temperature without considering the actual concentration of the flow. 3. The DOE states that vortex flow meters are not possible to calibrate (p.29 Verification Report). Clarification is required on how the DOE has accepted that accuracy is assured for the measured flow of ammonia input to SCR De-NOX system and the hydrocarbon input for tail gas reheating.
