Definitions 4 The following definitions apply in this Part and in Schedules 3 to 7. alternative gas means a gaseous fossil fuel other than natural gas. ( gaz de remplacement ) amendment day means the day on which the Regulations Amending the Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations (Part 1 — Biomass) come into force. ( date de modification ) anode-baking furnace means a heater that bakes green anodes to produce blocks of carbon for use in the production of aluminum. ( four de cuisson d’anodes ) ASTM D1945-03 means the method entitled Standard Test Method for Analysis of Natural Gas by Gas Chromatography , published by ASTM. ( méthode ASTM D1945-03 ) ASTM D1946-90 means the method entitled Standard Practice for Analysis of Reformed Gas by Gas Chromatography , published by ASTM. ( méthode ASTM D1946-90 ) biomass means a liquid or solid fuel that consists only of non-fossilized organic material that originates from plants or animals but does not come from a geological formation, including (a) liquid and solid products or waste produced from that material; (b) liquids and solids recovered from that material, including from organic waste; and (c) sludge from wastewater treatment. ( biomasse ) biomass boiler means (a) a boiler that can reach at least 50% of its rated capacity when it is in a steady state and at least 90% of the input energy in its combustion chamber results from the introduction of biomass; and (b) in the case of a boiler that is commissioned or recommissioned on or after amendment day, a boiler that is linked to equipment that is capable of introducing a sufficient quantity of biomass as the input energy in its combustion chamber to allow it to meet the criteria set out in paragraph (a). ( chaudière à biomasse ) biomass heater means (a) a heater that can reach at least 50% of its rated capacity when it is in a steady state and at least 90% of the input energy in its combustion chamber results from the introduction of biomass; and (b) in the case of a heater that is commissioned or recommissioned on or after amendment day, a heater that is linked to equipment that is capable of introducing a sufficient quantity of biomass as the input energy in its combustion chamber to allow it to meet the criteria set out in paragraph (a). ( four industriel à biomasse ) blast furnace stove means a vertical cylindrical regenerator filled with refractory and used to preheat ambient air that is then introduced into a blast furnace used in ironmaking. ( récupérateur de haut fourneau ) CEMS test means a determination, by means of a CEMS in accordance with section 32 , of the NO x emission intensity of a boiler or heater. ( essai SMECE ) chemical recovery boiler means a boiler whose fuel includes spent pulping liquor and that recovers chemical constituents from the combustion of that spent pulping liquor. ( chaudière de récupération chimique ) class 40 , in relation to a pre-existing boiler or heater, describes a class 40 boiler or heater within the meaning of section 12 . ( classe 40 ) class 70 , in relation to a pre-existing boiler or heater, describes a class 70 boiler or heater within the meaning of section 12 . ( classe 70 ) class 80 , in relation to a pre-existing boiler or heater, describes a class 80 boiler or heater within the meaning of section 12 . ( classe 80 ) coke oven means an oven that converts coal to coke through distillation. ( four à coke ) coke oven battery means a heater that consists of a combustion chamber, with more than one burner, whose exhaust gas circulate between coke ovens. ( batterie de fours à coke ) commercial grade natural gas means natural gas that is supplied by a commercial supplier. ( gaz naturel de qualité commerciale ) commissioning date means the day on which a boiler or heater begins to produce thermal energy primarily for use in production or to provide heat. ( date de mise en service ) ethylene cracker means a heater that transforms a mixture of steam and hydrocarbons into hydrocarbon gases, n
