Air Pollution Control: Sulfur Oxides

Sulfur oxides in the form of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) or sulfur trioxide (SO₃) is a usual parameter when monitoring air pollutants from stationary sources.

For generators, boilers, firepumps and other fuel-burning equipment, the parameter used for emission monitoring is SO₂.

For non-fuel burning scrubbers, sulfuric acid plants, industries with sulfonation process, and other stationary sources, the parameter used is SO₃.

The SO₂ emission concentration standard¹ applicable to generator sets, boilers and firepumps classified as existing² is 1500 mg/NCM. For those classified as new³, the maximum permissible emission concentration is 700 mg/NCM.

For sulfuric acid plants and industries with sulfonation process, the emission concentration standard is 2000 mg/NCM for existing², and 1500 mg/NCM for new³.

For non-fuel burning scrubbers and other stationary sources, the maximum permissible emission concentration is 1000 mg/NCM for those classified as existing², and 200 mg/NCM for those classified as new³.

Fuel burning equipment having problems with their SO₂ emissions, using alternative fuels such as low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) or blended fuel oil (BFO) that are assured of low or less than 1 percent sulfur content is a recommended solution.

Bunker fuels have high sulfur content. Emission concentration is expected to be high and above the permissible limits. Sulfur content of fuel should be below 1% to achieve emission concentrations below the standard.

Other solutions to sulfur oxide emission concentration exceedance are limestone feeding and employing a dry or wet scrubber to the system. Technical evaluation and assessment will be needed to determine which air pollution control process or equipment will best fit the industry.

Air Pollution Control: Particulate Matter

One of the usual parameters for emission monitoring of stationary sources is particulate matter (PM).

As based on the National Emission Standards for Source Specific Air Pollutants (NESSAP) which is incorporated in the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Philippine Clean Air Act (CAA), the maximum permissible limit of PM emission concentration for fuel burning equipment such as generator sets, boilers, fire pumps and the likes in an urban and industrial areas, cement plants and smelting furnaces is 150 mg/NCM. For other stationary sources and fuel burning equipment not located in urban and industrial areas, the maximum permissible limit is 200 mg/NCM.

PM emission concentration exceedance to the standard is a problem to some industries. One of the most practical and basic solution to this problem is regular cleaning and maintenance of the chimney or exhaust stack and the equipment itself. Soot and other particles accumulated in the exhaust can contribute to the particulate emission.

Another thing to check is the exhaust stack diameter and sampling porthole location. These equipment specifications contribute to the concentration of the particles collected during emission sampling. Exhaust stacks should conform to design standards so that an accurate and representative PM concentration will be generated from the emission sampling.

For fuel-burning equipment using coconut husks, wood chips or paper, PM emission concentrations can be normally high. If fuel substitution is not an option, gravity settling chambers, mechanical collectors, particulate wet scrubbers, electronic precipitators and fabric filters will be the solution.

These air pollution control equipment are usual fixtures in cement industries for and the same can be used by other industries to regulate their particle emissions. Technical evaluation and assessment will be needed to determine which air pollution control equipment will best suit the system.

Assessment of Existing Wastewater Treatment Facilities for Planned Expansion

Facilities with existing wastewater treatment facilities are in a better position than those that don't have one as the latter is very susceptible to environmental non-compliance, penalization, closure and even criminal liabilities.

However, even facilities with existing wastewater treatment facilities face challenges on a daily basis as a result of inadequate knowledge and continuous training of personnel and sometimes the lack of top management commitment to comply with environmental laws (some put up systems like these only as a front but don't operate it properly). Yet again, growing companies whose operations have increased in capacity have problems with their existing treatment facilities because these are not adequate to treat the increase in wastewater generation anymore.

Pacific Spectrum Environmental has conducted many assessments of existing wastewater treatment facilities to resolve these problems all together. We have trained personnel to do simple, easy-to-understand tasks that can increase his/her competence as an operator. We've also made assessments on existing facilities to increase its efficiency by tweaking the operational conditions (e.g. physico-chemical and biological parameters). And we've helped companies to also increase the capacity of their existing facilities without necessarily building another plant.

Design of Constructed Wetland (Reedbeds)

Pacific Spectrum Environmental has designed constructed wetlands for several clients as well as for Nestle Philippines to provide a cheap but effective means of treating its wastewater. Reed beds or constructed wetlands are good solutions to significantly reduce the operational costs for treating wastewater but requires a significantly greater area to build. Thus, these systems are well suited for facilities that have large areas available. Another good use of reedbeds are in aesthetics as these systems utilize local plants species to remove pollutants from wastewater.

Environmental Legal Services

One of the challenges of industrial facilities is to comply with environmental regulations. There are instances that companies have not been able to comply with certain environmental regulations which result to non-compliance or violations. What's worse is that the Pollution Adjudication Board (PAB) might have already interfered and filed a case against these companies. In these cases, a company might seek for legal advice from an environmental lawyer, and not just any other lawyer.  Pacific Spectrum Environmental boasts of having an environmental lawyer who is experienced with handling PAB cases.

Pacific Spectrum Environmental may also provide the services of an environmental lawyer in cases of water rights, land disputes and complaints.

Soil Sampling and Analyses for Environmental Site Assessment

Pacific Spectrum Environmental has conducted several quasi environmental site assessment (ESA) activities in different properties (e.g. industrial, airline) long before this methodology has reached the Philippines.  The objective of the activity was to confirm whether the area has been contaminated with petroleum products (fuel, oils, fluids) and to determine the lateral extent of the contamination. This results and recommendation formed part of the report which was used by the companies to make an informed decision on how to manage the contaminated site.

Social Survey for a Proposed Water Treatment Plant

Although previously set aside due to low importance, the social aspects of a project have been recently embraced as one of the most important factors for the success of a project. Community complaints is one of the social aspects that often contribute to a projects failure due to low acceptance in the community.

b>Pacific Spectrum Environmental was engaged by DCCD Engineering Corporation to conduct a social survey in Muntinlupa City to ensure that the community has been informed about the project specifications and what it can provide the community in terms of services and benifits.

Environmental Site Assessment of Avida Land Property

Pacific Spectrum Environmental investigated the underlying soil and groundwater of an Avida Land Property located somewhere in Mega Manila which was suspected to have been contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) due to pollutant migration coming from an adjacent industrial facility which was previously closed down.

The results were recorded and recommendations were incorporated in the final environmental site assessment (ESA) report.
