Licence conditions for pollution studies and reduction programs

Summary
 
Licence number: 2122
Title: PRP - NOx emission reduction
Start date: 13 Nov 2015
 
Licence Condition
1.  The Licensee must undertake a review of international best practice measures available to minimise the generation and emission of NOx from coal fired electricity generation. As a part of this review, the Licensee must identify control techniques, including both combustion and post combustion options, for achieving the following NOx emission concentrations from electricity generating unit(s) at the premises:         a.  800 mg/m3 (dry, 273 K, 101.3 kPa, 7% 02), equivalent to Protection of the Environment         Operations (Clean Air) Regulation Group 5;         b.  500 mg/m3 (dry, 273 K, 101.3 kPa, 7% 02), equivalent to Protection of the Environment         Operations (Clean Air) Regulation Group 6; and         c.  <500 mg/m3 (dry, 273 K, 101.3 kPa, 7% 02), consistent with international best practice. 2.  The Licensee must also assess and evaluate the feasibility of implementing control options identified in 2(a), (b) and (c) above. This evaluation must have regard for, as a minimum, cost, timing, emission performance and technology and engineering considerations. 3.  The Licensee must submit a consolidated report, prepared by a suitably qualified person, which addresses the requirements of conditions 1 2 and 3. The report must be submitted to the Environment Protection Authority,  Manager Hunter Region, at PO Box 488G, NEWCASTLE or to hunter.region@epa.nsw.gov.au by 3 July 2017.
