Launch of New Mercury SM-5 CEMS Analyser
The new SM-5 is the next generation of mercury CEMS analysers. The SM-5 mercury CEMS analyser meets the Waste Incineration BREF requirements, making it ideal for plants that must have a mercury CEMS analyser installed. The SM-5 was designed for hazardous waste...
The Impact of BREF and BAT on Emissions to Air Solutions
Environmental regulations and standards are regularly updated to meet new climate change targets. Waste Incineration (WI) and Large Combustion Plant (LCP) daily Emission Limit Values (ELVs) are reducing under BREF. The Large Combustion Plant BAT Conclusions were...
AMESA-B Records Accurate Biogenic CO2 Emissions
The Environment Agency (EA) requests EfW plant operators to report Pollution Inventory (PI) emissions which now includes biogenic CO2 sources. The EA is keen to improve the quality of data on greenhouse gas emissions within the EfW sector. Environment Agency’s...
Make Linearity Testing Easier with a Gas Divider
The principle of a linearity test is to check that the gas analyser system is ‘linear’. The linearity shall be calculated and tested using the procedure given in annex B of the standard EN14181. Linearity tests can be performed by Service Engineer, Site Engineer or...
How EfW Sites Control Cost of Gas Abatement
By monitoring and optimising the gas abatement process in Energy from Waste plants, operators can achieve two things. Firstly, compliance with the new Emission Limit Values (ELVs) in the revised site permits, derived from the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/....

Is Energy from Waste the Answer to the UK’s Energy Crisis?
We explore the Energy from Waste solution to the UK's growing waste problem as well as the future of power generation to satisfy the UK's demands. Are We Facing an Energy Crisis? The majority of the UK’s electricity comes from coal-fired power plants however, many are...
Legislation Approval Sparks Demand for Dioxin Sampling
EN 1948-5 has been approved in May 2015 sparking an increasing demand for continuous dioxin sampling across Europe. Now that the EN standard has been approved, the revision of the Best Available Technique (BAT) reference document for waste incinerators is expected to...
New Occupational Exposure Limits Set for Peracetic Acid
Can You Ignore the Dangers of Peracetic Acid? The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Board of Directors has approved the new 2014 occupational exposure limits, including a new Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) for Peracetic Acid (PAA)....
