1. INTRODUCTION

At the request of Novartis Ringaskiddy Ltd., the Environment Department of Enterprise

Ireland sampled the flue gas of the company’s Solid Waste Incinerator for metals.

The tests were carried out on the 3 1” August 2005.

This report contains the results obtained and compares them with the limits set in the

company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence, Register No. 545.

0 Note: The survey work and preparation of thiS report were carried out: in conjunction

with Mr. Paddy Wright of Wright Environmental Services.

2. SUMMARY

The flue gas of the company’s Solid Waste Incinerator was sampled and analysed for a

list of metals as specified in the company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence.

A summary of the results is presented in Table 1 along with the emission limit values

specified in the Licence.

Concentration mg/Nm3

Measured Emission Emission Limit

0.003 0.05

0.010 0.05

0.030 0.5

0.05 1 30

In almost all cases the metal was not detected. Where no metal was detected half the

limit of detection is used in the calculations. Where the blank was equal to or greater

than the test figure, then half the test figure was taken.

From this it can be seen that the emissions of metals and total particulates are all well

below the emission limit values.

i 3. RESULTS

The flue gas of the company’s Solid Waste Incinerator (Emission Point Reference No. 3)

was sampled and analysed for metals.

Sampling and analytical methods are described in Appendix 1. Sampling details are

given in Appendix 3.

The sampling was carried out on the 3 1 St August 2005 and samples were analysed at the

Enterprise Ireland laboratories.

The results are presented in Table 2 along with the emission limit values.

These results show that the emissions of metals are below the emission limit values

(ELV) contained in the company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence, Register No.

545.

Sampling and Analytical Methods

Metals

The flue gas was sampled using a Zambelli Stack Sampler as outlined in U.S. E.P.A.

Method 29. This involves drawing a measured volume of the flue gas through a

sampling probe and filter and then through a cooled liquid absorption train containing

nitric acid/peroxide followed by acidified potassium permanganate. The filter and

absorption solutions, together with washings of the sampling train are collected and

preserved as the sample.

These samples were analysed by Enterprise Ireland.

The results are expressed as mgMm3, dry gas corrected to 11% oxygen content.

Standardisation of Flue Gas Emissions

The concentrations of flue gas emissions have been calculated to standard reference

conditions as specified in the company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence Reg. No.

545.

n Temperature : 2’73 IS.

m Pressure : 101.3 kPa.

n Oxygen : 11%.
