Objective
The objective is to develop an Emission Control System which would simultaneously address four distinct areas of environmental impacts, namely atmospheric emissions, wastewater treatment, energy recovery and chemical usage. Successful completion of this project would set an industry standard and encourage uptake of a similar methodology throughout Europe.
An Emission Control System which simultaneously addresses four areas of environmental impact is to be developed. The central concept is to integrate two waste streams in such a way that the environmental impact of both streams is minimised. The process will use dairy wastewater to remove sulphur dioxide and particulates from boiler waste gases generated by the burning of heavy fuel in industrial processes. This process will provide vital pH-correction to the wastewater prior to biological treatment. Additionally, significant savings in energy will be provided by recovering and reusing the waste heat energy present in the flue gas. The environmental targets of the project are:
- 99% reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions;
- 92% reduction in current emissions of particulates;
- energy savings of 1.6 million MJ/week;
- annual saving of 600 tonnes of hydrochloric acid used for pH correction.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
