INTRODUCTION This introduction is not part of the licence and docs not purport to be a legal interpretation of the licence.
This revised waste licence is for the operation of an incinerator to burn non-hazardous waste and to recover energy in the form of steam which will be used to generate electricity at Carranstown, Ih leek . County Meath. The facility is located within a site area of approximately IO hectares.
Only residual non-hazardous waste (household, commercial and industrial) inay be accepted at the facility. The licence authorises a maximum of200,000 tonnes of waste pet- annum to be accepted at the facility for incineration. and 2.000 tonnes of waste per annum to be accepted for treatment in the proposed residue solidi tication plant.
Infrastructure for the incineration plant includes waste reception area. furnace. boiler. energy recovery system. facilities for the treatment of exhaust gases. facilities for handling and storage of incineration residues, stack. devices and systems for controlling, recording and monitoring of the incineration process. The plant will have one incineration line with a design capacity o f 2 6 . 7 tonnes per hour. T h e heat produced from the process will be used to generate approximately 17.2MW of electricity. of which 2.1MW will be used on site and 1 S . lh lW will be exported to the national grid.
The facility falls within the scopc of Annex I of Council Directive 2008i I E C concerning integrated pollution prevention and control. The following IPPC Ilirecti\re activities will be carried on at the installation:
Category 5.2: Installations for the incinet-ation of municipal waste (household waste and si ni i 1 a r co mnierc ia 1. industria 1 and ins t i t LI t iona I wastes) with a capacity exceeding 3 tonnes per hour: and
Category 1 . 1 : Comhusrion installations Lvith a rated thermal input exceeding 5 0 M W.
The activities also fall bvithin tlic scope of Annex I1 of Council Ilirecti\.c 200%98,'EC on waste. Litidet- the following:
Operation 11 IO: Incineration on Land: and
Operation KI : Usc principally as a liiel 01- other means to generate energy.
The licensee must manage and operate the facility to ensure that tlic activities d o not cause e ti vim time tit al pol li t t ion. l he 1 i c c nsee is reclui red t o carry ou t reg u I a I- c n\.i ronnie ti ta 1 nio t i i t o ri n g 21 nd submit all monitoring results and a \ \ d e range of rcports on the operation and management 01' thc facility to the Agency.
The licence sets out in detail the conditions under which Indaver Ireland (RI-anch of IndaLei- NV). 4 Haddington Terrace. [ h i t i Laoghaire. County I h b l i n will operate and manage this facility.
