Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Application

We have made our IPPC Application this month to the Environment Agency.

Making an IPPC application means explaining and justifying how we operate our site.

We have to consider the impact of our site in these areas:

  - materials and energy use (water, raw materials for products, steam, electricity, gas, fuel etc)
  - emissions - to air, water, solid wastes, trade effluent
  - noise and odours
  - what would happen in an emergency - fire, flood etc

We justify how our processes are "best available technique" (BAT), or why they are different from the BAT standards issued by the EA for our specific industry.

The issues which deal with waste water, rainwater, noise etc is also subject to BAT standards which are issued as "cross-sector" guidance.

We have further commissioned and submitted a a Site Report, which describes the surrounding environment (water, land, humans, buildings) and how these may be affected by our operations.

The Environment Agency provide more details on their website about IPPC here

We are to make available as part of our public consultation most of the application via email to interested parties. The table of contents are below:
