• Needs to consider full
impacts.
• An AQAP could specify no
new MCPs or only MCPs
with very low emissions.
The AQAP could also
impose lower emission
limits for MCPs than those
set out in the MCPD.

Things to note about MCPD
• Banks of <1MW plant are excluded
• Permit variations may not consider full impacts
• MCP could stifle development
• No significance of effects considers in permitting
• Not all plant will require modelling (very few in fact)
• No BAT as part of MCPD
• Many plant will be exempt from the emission limits
• Impacts on AQMAs may not be considered
• Monitoring to ensure compliance is in frequent. Every few
years. So could have huge impacts without knowing.
• Horizontal flues often proposed but not modelled
• Backup generators which are exempt can be huge and dirty
• We can’t rely on the Permitting to protect us from AQ impacts.
All impacts must be considered at a planning stage!

The document discusses new environmental norms for thermal power stations in India that aim to reduce emissions. It notes that India has committed to reducing emission intensity, increasing non-fossil fuel capacity, and making power generation more efficient. The new norms effective after 2017 will set stricter standards for SPM, SO2, NOx, Hg and water use. Compliance will require additional capital investments of Rs. 1.15-2.5 crore per MW for technologies like FGD and SCR. Regulators will need to determine cost recovery mechanisms and provide guidance on optimal compliance technologies and schedules.

Ben Marner - AQC - Treatment of Small CHP Plant and Short-term Use Diesel G...

IES / IAQM

Small CHP plants and short-term use diesel generators can have significant air quality impacts despite being screened out under current guidance. For small CHP plants, a suggested criteria is to assess plants over 15kW output. A tighter dispersion criteria is also proposed but may be difficult to define. Case studies show a micro CHP adding 0.7 μg/m3 of NO2 annually and backup diesel generators testing for 12 hours per year potentially causing NOx increases of over 13 mg/m3. The presentation calls for more stringent CHP criteria and encouraging robust assessments of diesel generators, including routine testing in assessments and addressing them in construction phase assessments.

NYPD3 Selective Reopener Nersa public hearings - 23 June 2015

Matthew Le Cordeur

Eskom is applying for a selective tariff reopener to address immediate operational and financial challenges. The application seeks to recover costs for increased usage of open cycle gas turbines (OCGTs) and a short term power procurement programme (STPPP) in order to reduce the intensity of load shedding. If approved, the selective reopener of 9.58% would fund R32.5 billion for OCGTs over the current tariff period and R17.5 billion for STPPP capacity. Eskom argues this is necessary to leverage additional supply options and minimize the economic impact of load shedding, as OCGTs can provide power at an estimated R3/kWh compared to load shedding costs

Guidelines bond efficiency-rev-2018

AbhijeetSingh652

This document provides a method for determining the Bond efficiency of industrial grinding circuits by comparing the actual operating Bond work index of a circuit to the standard Bond work index. The actual operating Bond work index is calculated based on measurements of the circuit feed size, product size, throughput rate, and power draw. The standard Bond work index is calculated based on laboratory Bond work index tests. The Bond efficiency ratio is the standard Bond work index divided by the actual operating Bond work index. A ratio of 1.0 indicates the circuit is performing with the same efficiency as the standard Bond circuit model. A higher ratio indicates lower efficiency.

15.30 Reducing Construction Emissions.pdf

IES / IAQM

This document discusses reducing construction emissions through partnerships and tools. It introduces a partnership with Impact on Urban Health to identify exemplar construction sites and develop an emissions tool. The tool calculates emissions from non-road mobile machinery and compares scenarios to benchmarks. The tool was updated to include carbon calculations and additional fuels. Next steps include sharing the tool widely and updating it with real-world emissions data. The tool helps plan equipment use and evaluate policies but has limitations in fully capturing alternative fuel emissions.

15.30 Ethical considerations when determining air quality policies.pdf

IES / IAQM

This document discusses the ethical considerations of using air quality standards as the principal policy lever for determining air quality policies. It notes that while standards were effective when acute health impacts were thought to occur above thresholds, evidence now suggests pollution affects health down to low concentrations with no clear threshold. Standards also focus only on areas in exceedance, leaving large inequalities. Overall, directly targeting emissions through reductions may be a more ethical approach as it affects the population equally and aims to maximize health benefits. The document advocates that policies should be clearly articulated to allow the public to judge costs and impacts, and that national emission policies are likely to result in greater health benefits and equity across the population.

12.00 Applied Source Apportionment using Low Cost Sensors.pdf

IES / IAQM

This document describes a new low-cost method for particulate matter source apportionment using particle number size distribution analysis. It has been tested on two sites: a construction site for the HS2 rail project in Birmingham, and a granite quarry in Leicestershire. The method was able to identify unique particle profiles associated with different pollution sources at each site, such as construction activities or quarry works. It shows potential to automate source apportionment using machine learning and a growing database of particle profiles from known sources. Future work includes applying this technique to establish better emission factors and expand its use in environmental impact assessments.

11.15 Addressing emissions from NRMM.pdf

IES / IAQM

The document discusses London's Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) Low Emission Zone, which aims to reduce emissions from construction machinery. It has led to measured reductions of 48% for PM10 and PM2.5, and 42% for NOx, compared to baseline levels. The zone requires machinery above 37kW to meet certain emission standards, and sites must register their machinery online. Compliance is enforced through on-site inspections. The standards have tightened over time and will require newer Stage V machines by 2023. The program has seen little industry pushback and provides a model that could be applied in other cities.

09.45 Dispersion modelling considerations for Net Zero and air quality.pdf

IES / IAQM

Catheryn Price will give a talk at the "Routes to Clean Air, 2023" conference on modeling fugitive methane emissions and controlled carbon dioxide venting from carbon capture facilities. Some of the projects discussed will include modeling fugitive methane from landfills and other sites using inverse dispersion modeling, verifying a carbon dioxide emissions inventory in Glasgow using ambient measurements, and assessing potential degradation products from amine emissions from carbon capture. The talk will emphasize that while new challenges arise in modeling emissions related to achieving net zero goals, established approaches like validation, sensitivity testing, transparency, and knowledge sharing can help address uncertainties.

09.15Measuring air pollutant emissions using novel techniques.pdf

IES / IAQM

This document discusses using novel techniques like remote sensing, telematics data, and sensor data to measure vehicular pollutant concentrations and emissions at high spatial and temporal resolution.

The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...

Joshua Orris

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system. Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs. In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier. The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Open Access Research Paper

The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...

Joshua Orris

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

4. Permitting risk Benefit of operation Costs (£) Limit exceedences Tech. Photo: https://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/safety-services/risk-assessment/images/risk-assessment/image The regulations include: “(7) When assessing whether the operation of a medium combustion plant or a specified generator may have significant negative effects on human beings or the environment, the regulator must consider only its emissions to air.”.

The AQAP could also impose lower emission limits for MCPs than those set out in the MCPD.

9. Things to note about MCPD • Banks of <1MW plant are excluded • Permit variations may not consider full impacts • MCP could stifle development • No significance of effects considers in permitting • Not all plant will require modelling (very few in fact) • No BAT as part of MCPD • Many plant will be exempt from the emission limits • Impacts on AQMAs may not be considered • Monitoring to ensure compliance is in frequent. Every few years. So could have huge impacts without knowing. • Horizontal flues often proposed but not modelled • Backup generators which are exempt can be huge and dirty • We can’t rely on the Permitting to protect us from AQ impacts. All impacts must be considered at a planning stage!
