The service and inspection team of Thermeta Service BV consists of competent engineers, engineers-inspectors and inspectors trained and qualified for the applicable SCIOS scopes. The services of the service and inspection team can be deployed per incident or on a contract basis.

Thermeta Service BV has been certified for carrying out SCIOS scope 6 – BEES B measurements on combustion plants and CHP. The measurements are carried out fully in conformity with the SCIOS certification regulation with state-of-the-art measuring and analysis equipment and logged using a computer. The reporting is also done in accordance with the SCIOS certification regulation and therefore complies with the legal requirements.

When Bees B:
Bees B measurement must generally be carried out once-only on combustion plants (CHPs) with a power between 900 kW and 50 MW. This applies to new construction (or shortly after that) or to existing plants if this has not been done yet.

For further information please contact Thermeta Service BV.

Background and purpose of Bees B:
Apart from Bees B, there is the Dutch decree on emission limits for combustion plants A (Bees A), intended for large systems, such as electricity plants, refineries and large chemical companies. Bees B applies to the other categories of systems. Bees A and Bees B include emission requirements for the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and dust from combustion systems. The decrees apply to boilers, gas turbine system(s) and piston engines. Bees A further applies to processing furnaces and coal-fired systems.

Bees A and Bees B aim at reducing the emission of SO2, NOx and dust as a result of the use of fuels. This is necessary, because these substances substantially contribute to the phenomenon of acid rain. The impact of the acid rain on the environment is still cause for great worry, not only in the Netherlands but in the rest of the industrialised world as well. In southern Scandinavia and in the east of North-America many lakes are dead. In western and central Europe the death of woods and the acidification of water, the corrosion of materials, irreplaceable works of art and monuments are of particular importance.
