1. INTRODUCTION
At the request of Novartis Ringaskiddy Ltd., the Environment Department of Enterprise
Ireland sampled the flue gas of the company’s Solid Waste Incinerator for metals.
The tests were carried out on the 3 1” August 2005.
This report contains the results obtained and compares them with the limits set in the
company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence, Register No. 545.
0 Note: The survey work and preparation of thiS report were carried out: in conjunction
with Mr. Paddy Wright of Wright Environmental Services.

2. SUMMARY
The flue gas of the company’s Solid Waste Incinerator was sampled and analysed for a
list of metals as specified in the company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence.
A summary of the results is presented in Table 1 along with the emission limit values
specified in the Licence.

Cadmium and
Thallium

Concentration mg/Nm3
Measured Emission Emission Limit
0.003 0.05
0.010 0.05
0.030 0.5
0.05 1 30
In almost all cases the metal was not detected. Where no metal was detected half the
limit of detection is used in the calculations. Where the blank was equal to or greater
than the test figure, then half the test figure was taken.
From this it can be seen that the emissions of metals and total particulates are all well
below the emission limit values.

i 3. RESULTS
The flue gas of the company’s Solid Waste Incinerator (Emission Point Reference No. 3)
was sampled and analysed for metals.
Sampling and analytical methods are described in Appendix 1. Sampling details are
given in Appendix 3.
The sampling was carried out on the 3 1 St August 2005 and samples were analysed at the
Enterprise Ireland laboratories.
The results are presented in Table 2 along with the emission limit values.
These results show that the emissions of metals are below the emission limit values
(ELV) contained in the company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence, Register No.
545.

Sampling and Analytical Methods
Metals
The flue gas was sampled using a Zambelli Stack Sampler as outlined in U.S. E.P.A.
Method 29. This involves drawing a measured volume of the flue gas through a
sampling probe and filter and then through a cooled liquid absorption train containing
nitric acid/peroxide followed by acidified potassium permanganate. The filter and
absorption solutions, together with washings of the sampling train are collected and
preserved as the sample.
These samples were analysed by Enterprise Ireland.
The results are expressed as mgMm3, dry gas corrected to 11% oxygen content.
Standardisation of Flue Gas Emissions
The concentrations of flue gas emissions have been calculated to standard reference
conditions as specified in the company’s Integrated Pollution Control Licence Reg. No.
545.
n Temperature : 2’73 IS.
m Pressure : 101.3 kPa.
n Oxygen : 11%.
m Dry gas :
