provided with a stack of
30 meter height from
ground level (including
Kiln height)
Above 5T/day - do - H=14(Q)0.3 Where Q is
emission rate of SO2 in
kg/hr and H=Stack in

More than 5T/day Particulate matter 500 mg/NM3

and utp 40 T/day Particulate matter 150 mg/NM3

Note : Oxygen reference level for particulate matter concentration calculations for kilns
mentioned at A(c) is 18% and for those at A(b), A(d) and A(c) is 8%.
* All possible preventive measures should be taken to control pollution as far as
practicable.
** The standard for sulphur dioxide in terms of stack height limits for kilns with
various capacities of coal consumption shall be as indicated below :

Coal consumed per day Stack height

Less than 8.5 MT 9m

More than 8.5 to 21 MT 12 m

More than 21 to 42 MT 15 m

More than 42 to 64 MT 18 m

More than 64 to 104 MT 21 m

More than 104 to 105 MT 24 m

More than 105 to 126 MT 27 m

More than 126 MT 30 m or using

formula
H=14 (Qg)0.3 (whichever is more)
Note : In this notification
H—Physical height of the stack
Qg—Emission of sulphurdioxide in Kg/hr.
MT—Metric tones
m—meters
