11
BAT for whole FDM sector
Many BAT are concerned with “in-process” managementmanagement and operationoperation of FDM processinginvolving• low investment in technology • require training and supervision• provide significant protection of the
environment as a whole
12
General BAT for whole FDM sector
General processes and operations
• environmental management system
• training
• design/select equipment
• maintenance
• apply and maintain a methodology to minimise consumption of water and energy and the production of waste
13
Apply and maintain a methodology
14
General BAT for whole FDM sectorApply and maintain a methodology
• obtain management commitment (financial benefit!), organise and plan
• analyse process steps to identify opportunities for reduction (mass balance) – possibly use external benchmarks
• assess objectives (initial)
• identify prevention and minimisation options
• evaluation and feasibility study
• implement prevention and minimisation programme
• monitor by measurement and visual inspection
15
General BAT for whole FDM sector• landspreading MAY be BAT - consider
– Nitrates Directive (Council Directive 92/46/EEC)
– nutritional value to plants
– geographic (soil, climatic, hydrologic, may affect food or livestock)
– traceability – origin and destination of spread substances
– monitoring, e.g. soil and groundwater
• implement a system for monitoring and reviewing consumption and emission levels for individual processes and at site level– e.g. emissions to water and air; product and by-product yield
• transport solid FDM materials dry
• segregate outputs to optimise use, re-use, recovery, recycling and disposal (and minimise waste water contamination)
16
Segregation of outputsAchieved environmental benefits
• reduced water consumptionreduced water consumption
• reduced volume of waste water
• reduced wastereduced waste water contaminationwater contamination
• reduced energy consumption energy consumption (to heat water, for WWTP)
• reduced waste reduced waste and can dispose of appropriately
• increased recovery/recycling of materials
• reduced use of detergents
17
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Collaboration with upstream and downstream activities
• minimise storage times• manage on-site vehicle movements• selection of less harmful materials, e.g. cease use of
pesticides ahead of supply• supply fresh, but not over-ripe raw materials• high quality fish
18
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Equipment and installation cleaning• remove raw material residues asap after
processing• provide and use catch-pots• optimise the use of dry cleaning
19
Dry cleaningAchieved environmental benefits
• reduced water consumptionreduced water consumption
• reduced volume of waste water
• reduced wastereduced waste water contaminationwater contamination
• reduced energy consumption energy consumption (to heat water, for WWTP)
• reduced solid wastereduced solid waste
• increased recovery/recycling of materials
• reduced use of detergents
20
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Equipment and installation cleaning• pre-soak before wet cleaning• manage the use of water, energy and
detergent• operate CIP optimally - measure
turbidity, conductivity or pH - automatically dose chemicals
• minimise the use of EDTA
21
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Additional BAT for some unit operations
– freezing and refrigeration
• avoid keeping aircon and refrigerated areas colder than necessary
•minimise transmission and ventilation losses from cooled rooms and coldstores
22
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Additional BAT for some unit operations– compressed air systems • review the pressure level and reduce it
if possible• optimise the air inlet temperature• fit silencers at air inlets and exhausts,
to reduce noise levels
23
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Additional BAT for some unit operations– steam systems • maximise condensate return• avoid losses of flash steam from condensate
return• isolate unused pipework• improve steam trapping• repair steam leaks• minimise boiler blowdown
24
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Waste water treatment
• waste water arises from water consumption during processing and cleaning and from the drying of FDM materials.
• apply process-integrated BAT to minimise consumption and contamination of water
• apply end-of-pipe treatment waste water treatment techniques
25
General BAT for whole FDM sector
Waste water treatment
• BAT not concluded on whether it is better to treat waste water from FDM installations
on-site or off-site, except some primary on-site techniques, i.e.
– apply an initial screening of solids
– remove fat using a fat trap, if the waste water contains animal or vegetable FOG
26
Waste water treatment - BATAELs
TWG supported BATAELs for whole diverse FDM sector–no sector-specific BATAELs– some sector-specific evidence of low
achievable levels available–no lower level concluded for COD, BOD5,
oil and grease or total nitrogen (low levels achievable at some installations)
27
Waste water treatment - BATAELsParameter
Concentration(mg/l)
BOD5 <25
COD <125
TSS <50
pH 6 – 9
Oil and grease <10
Total nitrogen <10
Total phosphorus 0.4 – 5
Better levels of BOD5 and COD can be obtained. It is not always possible or cost effective to achieve the total nitrogen and phosphorus levels shown, in view of local conditions. SPLIT VIEWSPLIT VIEW
28
Additional BAT for meat and poultry
• thaw meat in air
• avoid using flake ice, by mixing chilled and frozen raw materials
• dose spices and other solid ingredients from a bulk container, not plastic bags
• stop water flow to sausage fillers during production breaks
29
Additional BAT for the fruit and vegetable sector
E.g.• where storage of fruit and vegetables and by-
products cannot be avoided, minimise storage time and, subject to weather, store outdoors in clean covered area
• after blanching fruit and vegetables, pass through cold water before freezing
• optimise the re-use of water, whilst maintaining hygiene
30
Additional BAT for dairies
E.g.• replace batch pasteurisers with continuous
ones
• maximise the recovery of diluted, but otherwise uncontaminated, product from CIP initial rinses, HTST start-up, shut-down and change-over and from the rinsing of other equipment and pipework
31
BAT - dairies
BATACLs and BATAELs for• market milk• milk powder production• ice-cream
addressing• energy consumptionenergy consumption• water consumptionwater consumption• waste water volumewaste water volume
32
BAT – dairies
BATACLs and BATAELs – ranges
• indicative of levels achievable by in-process BAT
• energy consumption levels vary due to, e.g. production volumes
• warm climates may use more energy for cooling and vice versa
• water consumption and waste water emission levels vary due to, e.g. various product portfoliosvarious product portfolios, batch sizes and cleaning
• waste water emission levels may be lower than water consumption levels if dairies measure intake of cooling water, often from their own wells, but then discharge it unmeasured
• warm climates - water may be lost due to evaporation
33
Additional BAT for drinks manufacturing
E.g.• if CO2 is used in the installation, use CO2
which is either recovered from the fermentation process or as a by-product of another process, to avoid the production of CO2 directly derived from fossil fuels especially for use in the installation
• recover yeast after fermentation
34
Recommendations for future work
• olive oil extraction – more information
• NOx from coffee roasting (techniques/levels)
• EDTA – avoiding use – existing information!
• exploration of wider applicabilities of techniques
• economic data, including payback times
35
Suggested topics for future R&D projects
• composition and harmfulness of odours
• reducing NOx emissions from coffee roasting
• EDTA – avoiding use
• reverse osmosis – economic and cross-media effects
