Waste management report

The Waste Data for 2012 is attached in the AER Returns Worksheets.

Energy and Water Consumption Energy The plant consumed 5,112,273 MWh of natural gas. The plant consumed 17,464 MWh of oil. Total energy input = 5,129,737 MWh

Water

DBPP consumed 25287 m3 of water as metered by Dublin City Council

Complaints summary

There were no complaints in 2012.

Incidents There was one brief incident in 2012 as reported in our letter EC.EPA.0209: on 29/04/12, there was an excessive temperature rise in Main Cooling Water discharge for a period of sixty four minutes, with an average temperature of 11.7 degrees Celcius. A faulty steam thermocouple had caused a steam turbine to trip, resulting in a large quantity of unused steam being directed to the condenser. The thermocouple was replaced. These devices are usually very reliable and a recurrence of this incident is not anticipated.

AER Summary Data Table

This table has been transmitted to the Agency electronically as instructed in the AER Returns Excel Workbook & Website User Manual.

Review of ELRA and CRAMP The ELRA and CRAMP were reviewed in February 2013 and were found to accurately reflect the conditions at Dublin Bay Power. No alterations were necessary as the plant has not changed the extent or nature of its activities since the original documents were released.

Environmental management programme 2012 report WO139468 Implement the Sustainability Programme The sustainability programme continues to be implemented in all functions of the organisation, including:

• operations o optimising the efficiency of the gas turbine, generator and ancilliary

equipment o reporting instances of under-performing components and sub-systems o first-response maintenance of out-of-specification performance

• maintenance

o tuning of gas turbine performance. In 2012, improvements were made which improve efficiency by 0.5%, leading to a reduction in Carbon emissions of approximately 5500 tonnes.

• administration o purchasing and tendering procedures take account of contractors’

obligations to work sustainably • general

o staff continue to reduce, re-use and recycle whenever possible. WO95810 Reduction in Water Use Numerous opportunities for reducing the use of water around the plant were identified, most of which involved the replacement of valves on the Heat Recovery Steam Generator. This work took place during a major overhaul in July/August 2012 and resulted in a daily reduction in water consumption from ca. 40 m3/day to ca. 20 m3/day. Water throughput is measured on a weekly basis and efforts to reduce consumption will continue to be factored into operations and maintenance activities. WO95806 Act on the findings of the Energy Audit Investigations were completed on the feasability studies of various findings of the audit and can be summarised as follows:

• the fitting of Variable-Speed Drives to major pumps. The environmental advantage of fitting VSD to pumps is miniscule, considering the relatively steady demands placed on them and the infrequent occurrence of pumps starting or stopping.

• the conversion of electric heating of buildings to gas heating. There is an environmental advantage of converting to gas heating since all of the energy in the gas heater will be introduced into the building, whereas the electrical energy available from a similar heater will have associated generation losses. Over-riding this, though, are concerns about the safety of introducing a piped gas system into a building and the decision has been taken that the environmental advantage cannot justify the risks.

Page 14: EPA Annual Environmental Report · 2014. 12. 16. · Environmental Report epa.ann.2012 . Reporting period: ... • Ensure that environmental awareness is promoted amongst Dublin Bay

14

• conversion of workshop lighting to high-intensity discharge lamps. Considering the minor environmental advantages, the lamps will be replaced by more efficient units only as and when they come up for replacement.

• conversion of water treatment plant lighting to high-intensity discharge lamps. Considering the minor environmental advantages, the lamps will be replaced by more efficient units only as and when they come up for replacement.

• pre-cooling inlet air to the gas turbine. The advantages of cooling the inlet air do not justify the environmental impacts of installing a major cooling system. These systems are not suitable for power plants operating in Ireland’s temperate climate.

On the basis of these findings, this EMP item will be closed.

Environmental management programme 2013 proposal

WO139468 Implement the Sustainability Programme The Sustainability Programme will continue to be encouraged and promoted, with members of staff at all levels making a contribution. WO95810 Reduction in Water Use Monitoring of water throughput will continue around the plant, particularly around areas of steam generation so that leaks and under-performing components can be identified and replaced.

WO204842 Improve the management and reporting of Waste Disposals Dublin Bay Power has operated a robust, flexible and comprehensive Waste Management System since its inception in 2002. A feature of the system has been the use of a range of contractors, each one focussing on a particular type of disposal. However, opportunities for improvement have been identified, chief among which is the use of a single contractor with country-wide experience in serving the power industry. The use of a single contractor is expected to result in a reduction in administration combined with enhanced monitoring, reporting and training. The benefits arising from the proposed arrangement will be assessed on an ongoing basis in the short- and medium-term and, if sufficiently great, will be adopted in the long-term.

Noise monitoring report The plant was found to be in compliance with licenced noise levels in a test carried out in 2012. A copy is attached. The report concludes: “the specific noise level from the Power Station at each measurement location remains below the day, evening and night time limits as outlined in the IPPC license.”

Bund test report (every three years) All bunds were tested by an independent contractor in 2012 and found to be fit for purpose. There were no findings which require further investigation.

Tank and pipeline testing and inspection report (every three years)

All tanks, pits, sumps, manholes, interceptors and pipelines were surveyed using both closed-circuit television and hydrostatic tests by an independent contractor. Findings were as follows:

• one section of effluent pipeline between manholes SMH24 and SMH23 has suffered a partial collapse and needs a repair.

• six sections of pipe between various manholes failed the hydrostatic test. • three manhole covers are buried and require groundwork to gain access.

At the time of writing, a programme of works is in the planning phase in order to address all of the findings.
