Marginal note:Constituents of fuel

• 23 (1) The concentration of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen per kilogram of fuel introduced into the combustion chamber must be determined as a weighted average of the concentration of each of the constituents of each fuel in accordance with subsection (2).

• Marginal note:Required concentration standards and calculation methods

  (2) The concentration of the constituents of fuel must be determined

  • (a) for gaseous fuels, in accordance with, as applicable,

    • (i) ASTM D1945-03, and

    • (ii) ASTM D1946-90;

  • (b) for liquid fuels,

    • (i) in the case of the concentration of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, in accordance with the ASTM D5291-10 method entitled Standard Test Methods for Instrumental Determination of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen in Petroleum Products and Lubricants, published by ASTM,

    • (ii) in the case of the concentration of sulphur, in accordance with the ASTM D4294-10 method entitled Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum and Petroleum Products by Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry, published by ASTM, and

    • (iii) in the case of the concentration of oxygen, to be the remaining concentration after removing the determinations made for the concentrations of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulphur; and

  • (c) for solid fuel that

    • (i) is coal or coke,

      • (A) in the case of the concentration of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, in accordance with the ASTM D5373-08 method entitled Standard Test Methods for Instrumental Determination of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen in Laboratory Samples of Coal, published by ASTM,

      • (B) in the case of the concentration of sulphur, in accordance with the ASTM D4239-12 method entitled Standard Test Method for Sulfur in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke Using High-Temperature Tube Furnace Combustion, published by ASTM, and

      • (C) in the case of the concentration of oxygen, to be the remaining concentration after removing the determinations made for the concentrations of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulphur, and

    • (ii) is derived from waste,

      • (A) in the case of the concentration of carbon and hydrogen, in accordance with the ASTM E777-08 method entitled Standard Test Method for Carbon and Hydrogen in the Analysis Sample of Refuse-Derived Fuel, published by ASTM,

      • (B) in the case of the concentration of nitrogen, in accordance with the ASTM E778-08 method entitled Standard Test Methods for Nitrogen in the Analysis Sample of Refuse-Derived Fuel, published by ASTM ,

      • (C) in the case of the concentration of sulphur, in accordance with the ASTM E775-87(2008)e1 method entitled Standard Test Methods for Total Sulfur in the Analysis Sample of Refuse-Derived Fuel, published by ASTM, and

      • (D) in the case of the concentration of oxygen, to be the remaining concentration after removing the determinations made for the concentrations of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulphur.
