Description of the Installation The site manufactures concrete building products, using an automated batching plant at the location noted in the site location plan in the Appendix. Cementitious materials are delivered by bulk road tankers which blow air entrained material into one of two storage silos. Aggregates are delivered in bulk by lorry and tipped into storage bays. Aggregates are transferred as necessary from the storage bays to the load hopper by mechanical loading shovel. The aggregates are then transferred by an inclined and enclosed conveyor to the respective storage bins within the main process building. Aggregates are proportioned into a weigh hopper sited underneath the storage bins and taken by skip hoist to high level for discharge into the enclosed mixer. Cementitious materials are transferred by enclosed screw conveyor to the cement weigh batcher. Cementitious materials and aggregates are discharged into the mixer along with water. The concrete batch is transferred into a wet storage hopper and from there into the feed drawer of the block press. The products are vibrated and, by hydraulic and pneumatic actions, the “green” blocks are formed. The blocks are transported to the curing ovens and are subjected to overnight steam curing and are then placed into open yard storage. The curing ovens at site 1 are fired by oil. Once blocks are cured, some of them are subjected to further processing, called ‘splitting’, in order to create a decorative rough finish to the product. The splitting activity can also involve the use of grit blasting and size reduction techniques to achieve the desired end. Curing blocks are packaged and stored in the open yard storage areas.

with other agents, and without undergoing a chemical change, to dissolve raw materials, products or waste materials, or is used as a cleaning agent to dissolve contaminants, or as a dissolver, or as a dispersion medium, or as a viscosity adjuster, or as a surface tension adjuster, or a plasticiser, or as a preservative.

Organic compound Means any compound containing at least the element

carbon and one or more of hydrogen, halogens, oxygen, sulphur, phosphorus, silicon or nitrogen, with the exception of carbon oxides and inorganic carbonates and bicarbonates.

EPR Environmental Permitting Regulations , the new pollution

control regime replacing that under PPC. Regulator Means the Environment Team of the Telford & Wrekin

Council. When contacting the regulator it is not sufficient to contact any other part of the council other

than the Pollution Control Section at the address

specified in the additional notes or at the telephone numbers provided.

R-Phrase Means the same as in Directive 67/548/EEC as follows:

Designated risk phrase the designation or label given to a coating or preparation (as a whole). The mere fact that a preparation or coating contains r-phase chemicals does not in itself always make a material r-phrase.

SED Solvent Emissions Directive or ‘COUNCIL DIRECTIVE

1999/13/EC of 11 March 1999 on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds due to the use of organic solvents in certain activities and installations’.

STU Stationary Technical Unit shall have the same meaning

as in the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations, but in summary shall mean, one machine used for the purpose of printing on flexible packaging or one machine used in connection with that activity, e.g. an RTO. There must be at least 1 STU per activity, but it is possible to have multiple STU’s still comprising only one activity.

Volatile Organic Shall mean any organic compound having at 293,15 K a Compound (VOC) vapour pressure of 0.01 kPa or more, or having a

corresponding volatility under the particular conditions of use. For the purpose of the Solvents Emissions Directive, the fraction of creosote which exceeds this value of vapour pressure at 293.15 K shall be considered as a VOC.

Cyclone An inertial gas cleaning device, which separates dust

from the gas stream when the direction of the gas flow is changed and the dust continues in the original direction

by virtue of its inertia and is deposited on a collection

surface / catch pot. The inlet gas is channeled into a spiral flow. Centripetal forces operating in the spiral provide the change of direction and the larger particles

above a critical mass will be deposited on the cyclone

walls. Bag filter These are fabric filters and are comprised of a filter

medium, usually manufactured in the form of bags, through which material over a certain size cannot pass. There are three types: mechanical shakedown, reverse air jet and pulse jet. Bags are capable of filtration of finer particles than cyclones, but do not perform well with wet particulate such as wood with a moisture content > 20% (i.e. they clog up).

Indicative Monitoring Monitoring which measures the performance of the

abatement plant, rather than the quantity of dust etc emitted. In the case of bag filtration, this is normally achieved by alarming the pressure drop across the abatement plant, so that an alarm is set off should a bag / sleeve split.
