Atmosphere and Local Environment
Experiences of implementation in ‘older’ Member States
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Summary
UK legislation in 1990s implementation in the UK UK guidance-led approach successes challenges next steps
Atmosphere and Local Environment
1990s
1990 legislation compliant coatings cleaner technology rather than end-of-pipe some technology forcing
Atmosphere and Local Environment
SED – differences from UK law
a few extra sectors – notably dry cleaners solvent reduction plan some differences in standards
Atmosphere and Local Environment

Atmosphere and Local Environment
UK approach (1)
2,500 SED installations plus 3,500 dry cleaners 350 local authorities permits enforcement (suspension, enforcement and
suspension notices; prosecution: fines, imprisonment + clean-up; High Court referral)
Atmosphere and Local Environment
UK approach (2)
Legislation requires SED compliance + guidance on BAT
also procedural guidance
introductory seminars
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Guidance (1)
20+ guidance notes SED requirements highlighted BAT covers other pollutants :
particulates from abatement and coatings CO + NOx from oxidation plant SO2 from fuel odour
produced in partnership with stakeholders

Solvents sector Chemical treatment of timber and wood-
based products Printing and coating of metal packaging Textile and fabric coating and finishing Coil coating Film coating Coating in drum manufacturing and
reconditioning Printing Printing of flexible packaging Paper coating Paint application in vehicle
manufacturing Leather finishing Coating of metal and plastic Vegetable oil extraction and fat and oil
refining Rubber
Adhesive coating including footwear manufacturing
Wood coating Original coating of road vehicles and trailers Respraying of road vehicles Metal and other thermal spraying processes Coating and recoating of aircraft and aircraft
components Coating and recoating of rail vehicles Formulation and finishing of pharmaceutical
products Manufacture of coating materials Surface cleaning Dry cleaning

Atmosphere and Local Environment
ELVs etc for non VOC emissions from metal/plastic coating
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Guidance (2)
Guidance gives advice on: abatement techniques available cleaning techniques filtration plant inspection definition of fugitive emissions calculation of stack heights etc

Atmosphere and Local Environment
Guidance (4)
Content of guidance: timetable for compliance process description ELVs, solvent management, monitoring, etc control techniques definitions extracts from SED
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Guidance (5)
procedural guidance covers eg: summary of key SED provisions how to use the technical guidance notes enforcement options Interpretation of terms – “shortest possible
time” etc other matters, eg how to deal with coatings with
a short lifespan Q+A from seminars
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Successes
guidance-led approach on-going support helpline engagement/partnership with stakeholders links with business benefits compliance with few derogations needed
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Envirowise (Wrap) – business benefits
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Challenges
350 local authorities 3,500 dry cleaners minimising bureaucracy complexity of directive proportionality interface with Paint Products Directive risk phrase: nPropyl Bromide
Atmosphere and Local Environment
Next steps: things to consider
VOC abatement v. CO2 http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/quality/pollution/ppc/localauth/pubs/guidance/index.htm
closed-loop degreasers flexibility (ELV, reduction, mass emission
limit) health and safety interface Low volatility VOCs (acetone, siloxane....) Type approval
