Monthly Incinerator Statistics 2016

In accordance with legal notice 336 of 2001 Waste Management (Incineration) Regulations (transposing EU Directive 2000/76/EC on incineration) the operator is required to carry out the following continuous measurements of air pollutants:

     - Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
     - Carbon Monoxide (CO)
     - Total Dust
     - Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)
     - Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
     - Total Hydrocarbon (THC)
     - Hydrogen Fluoride (HF)
     - Ammonia (NH3)

The daily average air emission limit values in the regulations are reproduced in Table 1.

Table 1: Daily Average Air Emission Limit Values in Legal Notice 336 Waste Management (Incineration) Regulations 2001

HCl	CO	SO2	THC	HF	NOx	Dust	NH3
mg/Nm^-3	mg/Nm^-3	mg/Nm^-3	mg/Nm^-3	mg/Nm^-3	mg/Nm^-3	mg/Nm^-3	mg/Nm^-3
10		50	20	2	200	10	10

The Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Permit (IPPC) issued by the competent authority set the daily average air emission limit values as reproduced in Table 2.
