F.1 Treatment, Abatement and Control Systems

F.1.1 Atmospheric Emissions Treatment, Abatement and Control

A comprehensive air emission impact assessment was prepared for this power plant as part of the

Environment Report submitted with the planning application to South Dublin County Council. This

Environmental Report is included in Attachment B.6 of this licence application.

Natural gas is a clean fuel resulting in negligible emissions of particulate matter and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2).

The main atmospheric pollutant of concern for the power plant firing on natural gas is Nitrogen Oxide

(NOx). The plant will comprise proven pollution prevention and control technology which will limit the

emission of NOx i.e. the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technique. In the SCR system the NOX is

reduced with the help of a reducing agent such as urea which will be stored on-site in a dedicated tank with

a volume of 150m³.

The engine stacks (A2-1, A2-2) will incorporate an in-situ proprietary Continuous Emission Monitoring

System (CEMS). The selection, installation, calibration, ongoing quality assurance and annual surveillance

testing of the CEMS will be undertaken in accordance with EN 14181 – Quality Assurance of Automated

Measuring Systems and all relevant standards referred to therein. The requirements of EN 14181 will be

incorporated into the planned preventive maintenance programme (PPMP).

The number of potential sources of leaks from the plant will be minimised through plant design, for

example the gas pipe will be welded thereby avoiding the use of flanges and valves wherever possible.

Where appropriate, valves and flanges will be fitted with leak detection alarms connected to the main

control room ensuring a rapid response in the event of an abnormal occurrence.

The plant will only operate on low sulphur distillate oil in emergency situations and for short duration testing

as required by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) and EirGrid. In accordance with the CER

Decision Paper Secondary Fuel Obligations on Licensed Generation Capacity in the Republic of Ireland

(2009) it is anticipated that approximately 2000m³ of low sulphur distillate oil will be stored on site in a

bunded vertical cylindrical steel tank. Tank loading and unloading will be undertaken in accordance with

standard operating procedures, manufacturer’s specifications and best practice guidelines, including IPC

Guidance Note on Storage and Transfer of Materials for Scheduled Activities, EPA (2004). Losses will be

minimised through effective site management techniques and training.

Grange BackUp Power Limited will enter into a Long Term Services Agreement (LTSA) with the supplier to

service the gas engine and main auxiliaries at pre-determined intervals. The PPMP will also be developed,

in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications, incorporating all abatement and control systems as well

as plant, pipes, valves and flanges with a potential atmospheric emission source as deemed appropriate.

All defects will be prioritised. Defects associated with health and safety and environmental equipment will

be given highest priority and action will be taken immediately.

The total electricity output will be 115 MW during optimum conditions reaching thermal efficiencies in

excess of approximately 47%, which is higher than for any other gas engine available on the market. The

high rate of thermal efficiency, and subsequent reduction in greenhouse gases, is in accordance with the

requirements of BAT. Operation of the power plant will incorporate the following measures in order to

ensure thermal efficiency:

� The plant will operate on an advanced computerised control system which will ensure optimum

combustion conditions that support the reduction of emissions;

� Natural gas and feedwater will be filtered before use;

� The plant design will minimise the amount of heat lost due to unburned gases and excess air;

� The plant will operate under optimum pressure and temperature conditions whenever possible. The

plant design will employ the use of advanced materials capable of reaching the levels required;

� Inlet air will be fitted with a self-cleaning fabric filter in order to prevent the ingress of particulate matter.

� Operation of the plant will include maintenance measures such as raw water pre-treatment and

chemical treatment of the cooling water thereby optimising efficiency and minimising energy

consumption.

During a start-up or shut down of the power plant, the engine will ramp up or decrease its stable

operational load. This period is expected to be approximately 10 minutes in total for both scenarios.

During these periods the volume of exhaust gas exiting the exhaust stack will be reduced and its

temperature will be lower compared to standard operating levels. In addition, as an engine starts up, higher

emission concentrations of NOx and CO can be emitted.

When exhaust gas volumes and temperatures are reduced during start up and shut down the exit velocity

of the exhaust gas and its thermal buoyancy from the tip of the stack are reduced compared to normal

operation which can reduce the effectiveness of dispersion from the stack. However, as the primary fuel for

the project is natural gas the main pollutant of concern is NOx which has air quality standards for 1 hour

and annual mean averaging periods. Given the short period of time when start up and shut down occurs

the changes in dispersion characteristics and emission concentrations would have negligible effects on the

predicted level of impacts presented averaged over a 1 hour an annual mean periods and are therefore

start-ups and shut downs are not considered to have a significant effect on air quality.

The power plant will operate in accordance with the requirements of Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial

emissions (the Industrial Emissions Directive) and the BAT Guidance Note on Best Available Techniques

for the Energy Sector (Large Combustion Plant Sector), EPA, 2008. In addition, the plant will operate in

accordance with the relevant air quality standards and relevant emission limit values as specified in

Section 50 and Section 51 respectively of the Air Pollution Act 1987. Furthermore the plant will operate in

accordance with the Air Quality Standards Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 180 of 2011) came into force and

transposed EU Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe into Irish law. A

summary of the emissions is provided in Tables E.1(ii) and E.1(iii).

Table F.1(i) shows the treatment, abatement and control systems implemented for the main emission

points identified in Attachment E.1, which are:

F.1.2 Surface Water Emissions Treatment, Abatement and Control

As described in Attachment E.4 surface water will be collected from two catchment areas within the site –

the western catchment and the eastern catchment.

Surface water from the western catchment will be passed through a Class 1 full retention Enviroceptor.

This catchment includes the fuel oil unloading bay and the fuel storage tank which is located within a

bunded area. The rainwater which falls here is likely to be clean in the absence of an oil spill or leak. As a

result, a sump and pumping arrangement located within the bund will allow clean rainwater to be pumped

into the collection system when required. Pumping will be manually activated and will pass through to

avoid pumping potentially contaminated water. Surface water from the eastern catchment, which will

include run-off from the engine house and paved areas will be passed through a Bypass Separator.

The Class 1 Enviroceptor and the Bypass Separators will be fitted with visual and audible alarms to ensure

containment facilities are adequately maintained. In addition, this alarm will be linked to auto dial facilities

such that relevant staff can be alerted.

Gullies and drains entry points will incorporate silt traps to remove any grit or silt which may be washed

into the surface water drainage system.

The western and eastern catchment areas will have their own surface water attenuation tanks. The

western catchment attenuation tank will have a storage volume of 80m³ and the eastern catchment

attenuation tank will have a storage capacity of 150m³.These tanks have been designed to accommodate

a 1:100 year storm event and will discharge via hydro-brakes to the existing surface water drainage system

within the Grange Castle Business Park.

It should be noted also that the grant of planning permission issued by South Dublin County Council

(Planning Register: SD15A/0061) reinforces many of the above treatment, abatement and control

measures through the following conditions which Grange Back Up Power will ensure are fully complied

with:

� Drainage infrastructure will comply with the requirements of the Planning Authority or Irish Water;

� All drainage works will comply with the Greater Dublin Regional Code of Practise for Drainage Works

and the South Dublin County Council Specification for the Laying of Watermains and Drinking Water

Supply Guidance Document (2012);

� No development is authorised to take place until such time that Grange BackUp Power has provided

details to the Planning Authority of pollution monitoring and control mechanisms required to contain fire

water run-off within the site and to prevent pollution of the Griffeen River (which the Business Park

attenuation pond ultimately discharges to).

� There will be complete separation of the surface water and foul wastewater drainage systems; and

prior to the occupation of the development, details of tests and surveys demonstrating full separation

will be required to be submitted to the Planning Authority along with confirmation from the Councils

Waster Services Department that these tests and surveys fully meet with their requirements;

� Silt traps will be incorporated prior to the intakes to the surface water attenuation tanks;

� The hydrobrake proposed to restrict flow to the east of the site shall be relocated closer to the outfall in

order to restrict flow to all of the eastern section of the site (it should be noted that the relocated of the

hydrobrake has been updated as per this condition and the location of same is illustrated on Figure

F.2.1); and

� Only clean, uncontaminated water shall be discharged into the Griffeen River network. The specific

details of any discharges to watercourses will be agreed with Inland Fisheries Ireland. Class 1 petrol/oil

interceptors and hydrobrake controls should be provided on primary surface water discharges to

protect receiving freshwater in terms of water quality.

Table F.1(i) indicates the treatment, abatement and control systems implemented for the main emission

points identified in Attachment E.3, which are:

� Location Downstream of Surface Water Attenuation Tank 1 (SW1);

� Location Downstream of Surface Water Attenuation Tank 2 (SW2).

F.1.3 Domestic Wastewater Emissions Treatment, Abatement and Control

As described in Attachment E.5, foul wastewater from the power plant will consist of domestic effluent from

the toilets, sinks, etc. on-site. This wastewater will be discharged from the site via an appropriately sized

pumping station and will connect to the existing foul drainage system in Grange Castle Business Park

which in turn discharges to the South Dublin County Council foul drainage system which ultimately

discharges to the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant.

It should be noted also that the grant of planning permission issued by South Dublin County Council

(Planning Register: SD15A/0061) states that here will be complete separation of the surface water and foul

wastewater drainage systems; and prior to the occupation of the development, details of tests and surveys

demonstrating full separation will be required to be submitted to the Planning Authority along with

confirmation from the Councils Waster Services Department that these tests and surveys fully meet with

their requirements.

Due to its small volume and the small operational workforce, it is not proposed to monitor foul wastewater.

F.1.4 Process Wastewater Emissions Treatment, Abatement and Control

Process wastewater to be generated from the facility will consist of the waste stream arising from the

treatment of purified water for injection into the engine during the combustion process to control NOx

emissions. This wastewater will have a volume of approximately 0.5m3/hr which will be collected in an

underground storage tank before its treatment and release (at SE2) to the existing foul drainage system in

Grange Castle Business Park which in turn discharges to the South Dublin County Council foul drainage

system which ultimately discharges to the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The process wastewater will be dosed automatically, if required, to regulate the pH to pH 6-9. Any solids

collected in the water treatment plant will be removed from site by authorised contractors.

All chemical conditioning materials required for water treatment or for corrosion control will be stored in the

chemical storage room. Spills and leaks will be cleaned by appropriately experienced personnel using

absorbent materials. The arising waste will be disposed of off-site by appropriately authorised contractors.

All elements of the treatment systems will be monitored on a regular basis to ensure optimum performance

and maintenance. The water treatment plant effluent will be monitored for pH. If the pH is outside the

range of 6-9, or as permitted by the EPA, the discharge will automatically stop until the failure is corrected.

Monitoring equipment will be included in the PPMP in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and

best practice guidelines. Records of checks, calibrations and maintenance checks will be retained on site.

Pipes, bunds and storage facilities will be regularly checked for deterioration, damage and leaks. Integrity

testing and the maintenance of all waste water abatement, control and monitoring equipment will be

F.2 Emissions Monitoring and Sampling Points

F.2.1 General

A traceable and transparent monitoring, sampling and reporting programme will be developed by Grange

Back Up Power to ensure that emissions from the facility are within the relevant emission limit values and

irregularities and malfunctions are detected, and corrective actions implemented as soon as practicable.

The monitoring and sampling frequency implemented will be proportionate to the level of risk to the

environment.

Monitoring and sampling points will be limited to emissions to atmosphere, emissions to the sewer,

emissions to surface water and noise.

F.2.2 Atmospheric Emissions Monitoring and Sampling Points

Exhaust gases will be emitted to atmosphere through the engine stacks (A2-1 and A2-2). The stack will

incorporate an in-situ proprietary Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). The CEMS will

continuously monitor NOx, CO, Temperature and O2. Additional monitoring of SO2 and Particulate Matter

will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the EPA.

Minor emissions from the facility are not considered to be significant. Therefore, it is not proposed to

undertake additional atmospheric emissions monitoring for the minor emission points identified in

Attachment E.1 Emissions to Atmosphere.

Tables F.2(i) identifies the monitoring and sampling parameters associated with A2-1 and A2-2. The

location of these monitoring points is illustrated on Figure F.2.1.

F.2.3 Emissions to Surface Water Monitoring and Sampling Points

All hardstanding areas will drain by gravity to the surface water attenuation tanks. These will discharge via

hydro-brakes to the existing surface water drainage system within the Grange Castle Business Park.

Details of the proposed monitoring and sampling points of emissions to surface water drainage system are

indicated in Table F.2(ii).

Two monitoring and sampling locations are proposed at SW1 and SW2 as illustrated in Figure F.2.1

Emissions Monitoring Sampling Points. Sampling and analysis will be conducted in accordance with the

requirements of the EPA through the industrial emissions licence.

Tables F.2(i) identifies the monitoring and sampling parameters associated with SW1 and SW2. The

location of these monitoring points is illustrated on Figure F.2.1.

F.2.4 Emissions to Foul Sewer Monitoring and Sampling Points

Emissions to foul sewer will consist of process wastewater (SE2). Process wastewater emissions will be

discharged to the existing foul drainage system in Grange Castle Business Park which in turn discharges

to the South Dublin County Council foul drainage system which ultimately discharges to the Ringsend

Wastewater Treatment Plant. Details of the proposed monitoring and sampling point are indicated in Table

F.2(ii).

Tables F.2(i) identifies the monitoring and sampling parameters associated SE2. The location of this

monitoring points are illustrated on Figure F.2.1.

F.2.5 Ambient Noise Monitoring and Sampling Points

Grange Back Up Power propose to undertake ambient noise monitoring at 6 no. locations on an annual

basis. The monitoring points selected correspond to those same location used in the preparation of the

noise impact assessment contained in the Environmental Report which is included in Attachment B.6.

These locations are illustrated on Figure F.2.2 Ambient Noise Monitoring Locations.

In addition to the above monitoring Grange Back Up Power will carry out secondary monitoring at a

number of fixed locations on the boundary of the power plant facility. These locations will be agreed as

required with the EPA prior to the operation of the power plant.

Details of the proposed ambient monitoring points are provided in Table F.2(ii).
