Abstract

This Resolution, consisting of 13 articles and seven Annexes, provides for the maximum limits for the emission of pollutants in the air for processes of external combustion of fixed sources of pollution. Considering the need of establishing patterns for forest products and by-products that enables the integration of electronic control systems, provided for in the Resolution CONAMA No. 379 of 19 October 2006, it establishes the National emission standards by new fixed external combustion sources with nominal power of up to 70 MW and above. New pollution sources are those belonging to enterprises that will apply for licenses from the competent environmental organs after the date of publication of this Resolution. A external combustion process in point sources comprehends all burning of combustible substances through the following machines: boilers, vapor generators, plants for the generation of electric energy, ovens, furnaces, greenhouses and dryers for the generation and use of thermic energy, incinerators and gasifiers.
