I also would like to know how AP determined CO2 production value of 1.6l/min as a bench mark?

From what I see in this report 1.6 seems low, I was able to produce 1.6 early on in the test.

APD used 1.6l/min because that is what is specified in EN14143:2003. Section 6.6.2 and Table 4.
The test is for scrubber endurance - keeping up 1.6l/min for the life of the scrubber requires quite a feat: to keep this level of exertion up to several hours.
