Ecotoxicology of Mineral Fibre Manufacturing Emissions
topic
Mineral fibre manufacturing atmospheric emissions including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides from high-temperature combustion, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen cyanide from carbon fibre carbonisation off-gases, and boron compounds from glass fibre bushing operations require air pollution control technology including fabric filters, scrubbers, and thermal oxidisers to meet industrial emission limit values under EU Industrial Emissions Directive best available technique requirements.
Role
Defines the air pollution control obligations and best available technology requirements for mineral fibre manufacturing plants to minimise local air quality impacts and ecotoxicological effects on surrounding ecosystems from the range of combustion products, process off-gases, and particulate emissions generated by high-temperature mineral fibre manufacturing operations.
