Summary
Licence number:
761
Title:
Investigation of further controls to reduce Nitrogen Oxide Emissions
Start date:
12 Nov 2015
Licence Condition
The licensee must undertake a review of international best practice measures to minimise the generation, and emission, of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from coal fired electricity generation.
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: (i) 800 mg/m3 (dry, 273 K, 101.3 kPa, 7% 02), equivalent to Protection of the Environment Operations (Clean Air) Regulation Group 5 limit; (ii) 500 mg/m3 (dry, 273 K, 101.3 kPa, 7% 02), equivalent to Protection of the Environment Operations (Clean Air) Regulation Group 6 limit; and (iii) <500 mg/m3 (dry, 273 K, 101.3 kPa, 7% 02), consistent with international best practice.
The licensee must assess and evaluate the feasibility of implementing control options identified in U1.3(i)-(iii). Evaluation must have regard for, as a minimum, cost, timing, emission performance and technology and engineering considerations.
The licensee must submit a consolidated report, prepared by a suitably qualified person, which addresses the requirements of U1.1, U1.2 and U1.3. The report must be submitted to the EPA's Regional Manager - Hunter at PO Box 488G, Newcastle NSW 2300, or by email to hunter.region@epa.nsw.gov.au, by 1 July 2017.
Aim - The aim of this pollution reduction study is to assess the feasibility of achieving reductions in the emissions of nitrogen oxides at the premises.
