FOURTH SCHEDULE [19(3), 20(2)] STANDARDS FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF ODS DESTRUCTION FACILITIES Disposal of ODS shall be carried out in the following wayS— (a) ODS shall be disposed in accordance with the Handbook for the Montreal Protocol! on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer (9th Edition, 2012), and adopting best available technolog y; (b) in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation, ODS may be delivered to the following for re-use or disposal— (i) the holder of an ODS Trading Authorization, or (ii) the operator of an approved ODS destruction facility ; (c) prior to feeding the ODS to the approved destruction process, the following are recommended— (i) detailed checking of delivery document to ensure proper labelling, (i?) know the quantity of ODS supplied to the facility for destruction, (iii) provision of quarantine areas for storage before destruction, (iv) sampling and analysis of representative quantity of ODS consignment, (v) leakage detection, (vi) fugitive emission control, (vii) know the quantity of ODS to be destroyed, (viii) container should be purged of any residue or destroyed in the destruction process, (ix) necessary training should be conducted for suitable personnel, (x) regular monitoring and evaluation of ODS destruction to ensure that ODS destruction complies with standards, (xi) ensure that destruction processes are operated efficiently to ensure complete destruction of ODS ; and (xii) regular stack gas emission analysis. ALLOWABLE CONCENTRATIONS or POLLUTANTS IN STACK GASES (FOR SCREENING OF DESTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES) i. Destruction Efficiency (DE) is a measure of how completely a particular technology destroys 4 contaminant of interest — in this case the transformation of ODS material into non-ODS by-products. There are two commonly used but different ways of measuring the extent of destruction — DE and Destruction and Removal Efficiency (DRE). The terms are sometimes interchanged or used inappropriately. DE is a more comprehensive measure of destruction than DRE, because DE considers the amount of the chemical of interest that escapes destruction by being removed from the process in the stack gaged and in all other eaiaus streams. Most references citing performance of ODS destruction processes only provide data for stack emissions and thus, generally, data is only available for DRE and not DE. Because of the relatively volatile nature of ODS and because, with the exception of foams, they are generally introduced as relatively clean fluids, one would not expect a very significant difference between DRE and DE. For these reasons this update of ODS destruction technologies uses DRE as the measure of destruction efficiency. For the purposes of screening destruction technologies, the minimum acceptable DRE is: © 95% for foams ; and, ¢ 99.99% for concentrated sources. It should be noted that measurements of the products of destruction of CFCs, HCFCs and halons in a plasma destruction process have indicated that interconversion of ODS can occur during the process. For example, under some conditions, the DRE of CFC-12 (CCI2F2) was measured as 99.9998%, but this was accompanied by a conversion of 25% of the input CFC-12 to CFC-13 (CCIF3), which has the same ozone-depleting potential. The interconversion is less severe when hydrogen is present in the process, but can nonetheless be significant. DRE=N,"- %i Ni“ /N" Where N1in is the number of moles of the ODS fed into the destruction system, and Niout is the number of moles of the ith type of ODS that is released in the stack gases. 2. Any high temperature process used to destroy ODS has associated with it the potential formation (as by-products) of polychlorinated dibenzo paradioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). These substances are among the products of incomplete combustion (or PICs) of greatest concern for potential adverse effects on public health and the environment. The internationally recognized measure of the toxicity of these compounds is the toxic equivalency factor (ITEQ), 10 which is a wEighthed measure of the toxicity for all the members of the families of these toxic compounds that are determined to be present. The task force members note that the World Health Organization has developed a new system for calculating TEQs, however, most of the existing data on emissions is expressed in the former ITEQ system established in 1988. For purposes of screening destruction technologies, the maximum concentration of dioxins and furans in the stack gas from destruction technologies is : ° 0.5 ng-ITEQ/Nm for foams; and, ® 0.2 ng-ITEQ/Nm’ for concentrated sources. B 2033 Emissions of Dioxins and Furans. B 2034 Emissions of Acid Gases, Particulate Matter and Carbon Monoxide. These criteria were determined to represent a reasonable compromise between more stringent standards already in place in some industrialized countries [for example, the Canada-Wide Standard of 0.08 ng/m?> (ITEQ)], and the situation in developing countries where standards may be less stringent or non-existent. Although a previous standard of 1.0 ng/m} (ITEQ) had been suggested in the UNEP 1992 report, advances in technology in recent years, and the level of concern for emissions of these highly toxic substances j ustified asignificantly more stringent level. 3. Emissions of Acid Gases, Particulate Matter and Carbon Monoxide Acid gases are generally formed when ODS are destroyed and these should be removed from the stack gases before the gases are released to the atmosphere. The following criteria for acid gases have been set for purposes of screening destruction technologies : * a maximum concentration in stack gases of 100 mg/Nm3 HCI/CI, ; * a maximum concentration in stack gases of 5 mg/Nm? HF ; and, : * a maximum.concentration in stack gases of 5 mg/Nm? HBr/Br,,. Particulate matter is generally emitted in the stack gases of incinerators for a variety of reasons and can also be emitted in the stack gases of facilities using non-incineration technologies. For the purposes of screening technologies, the criterion for particulate matter is established as : + a maximum concentration of total suspended particulate (TSP) of 50 mg/Nm3 Carbon monoxide (CO) is generally released from incinerators resulting from incomplete combustion and may be released frem some ODS destruction facilities because it is one form by which the carbon content of the ODS can exit the process. Carbon monoxide is a good measure of how weil the destruction process is being controlled. For the purposes of screening technologies, the following criterion has been established : * a maximum CO concentration in the stack gas of 100 mg/Nm’ These maximum concentrations apply to both foams and concentrated sources. They were set to be achievable by a variety of available technologies while ensuring adequate protection of human health and the environment.
