Destruction efficiency

53 Destruction efficiency

(1) Group 6 treatment plant, other than flares, must be operated in such a way that the destruction efficiency of the plant, in relation to an air impurity entering the plant, is--
(a) if the air impurity originates from material containing any principal toxic air pollutant--more than 99.9999%, or
(b) in any other case--more than 99.99%.
(2) An enclosed ground-level flare for the treatment of landfill gas must be operated in such a way that the destruction efficiency of the flare, in relation to landfill gas entering the flare, is more than 98%.
(3) A reference in this clause to the destruction efficiency of Group 6 treatment plant in relation to an air impurity, including landfill gas, is a reference to the destruction efficiency of the plant, in relation to the air impurity, calculated by using the following equation--

"DE" is the destruction efficiency, expressed as a percentage.

"MW out" is the mass emission rate of the air impurity in exhaust emissions prior to its release to the atmosphere using a 1 hour rolling averaging period.

"MW in" is the mass feed rate of the air impurity in a waste feedstream using a 1 hour rolling averaging period.
