Features: To implement the "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China," prevent pollution caused by atmospheric pollutant emissions from thermal power plants, protect the living environment and ecological environment, improve environmental quality, promote technological progress and sustainable development in the thermal power generation industry, this standard has been formulated. Starting from the implementation of the emission limits in this standard at different time periods, it replaces the corresponding content of the "Discharge Standard for Atmospheric Pollutants from Thermal Power Plants" (GB 13223-1996) in the National Pollutant Discharge Standard. The main modifications made to the "Discharge Standard for Atmospheric Pollutants from Thermal Power Plants" (GB 13223-1996) by this standard are as follows: Adjusting the emission concentration limits for atmospheric pollutants: Canceling the practice of setting different emission concentration limits based on the type of dust collector and the content of ash and sulfur in coal; Specifying the time limits for existing thermal power plant boilers to meet stricter emission limits; Adjusting the excess air coefficient for converting the emission concentrations of atmospheric pollutants from thermal power plants. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, this standard has the force of mandatory implementation. The historical versions of the standard that have been replaced are: GB 13223-1991, GB 13223-1996. This standard was proposed by the Science and Technology Standards Department of the State Environmental Protection Administration. This standard was drafted by units such as the Research Institute of Environmental Science, China Environmental Science Academy, and the State Power Environmental Protection Research Institute. The State Environmental Protection Administration approved this standard on December 23, 2003. This standard will take effect on January 1, 2004. This standard is interpreted by the State Environmental Protection Administration.
