  1. Use of Technology Benchmarking in Nuisance Response Dennis J Karl 3011 W Grand Blvd., Suite 420 Detroit MI 48202 (313) 285 8401 www.ecomain.com

  2. Nuisance Response • Odour • Noise • Light

  3. Odour Pathology

  4. Increasing Emotional Response Initial Odour Concerns Compliant to Facility Complaint to Municipality Complainants Organize Media Involved Health Concerns Emerge Environmental Agency Engages Enforcement Action Initiated Civil/Legal Action Initiated Odour Pathology Rational Time Irrational

  5. Odour Pathology • Initial Odour Concerns • Compliant to Facility • Complaint to Municipality • Complainants Organize • Media Involved • Health Concerns Emerge • Environmental Agency Engages • Enforcement Action Initiated • Civil/Legal Action Initiated Loosing Control Engineering Solutions Public hearings

  6. Outlet Emissions

  7. Engineering Solutions • Meaningful Data Collection • Technical Solutions • Facility/Company Management • Environmental Agency • Community

  8. Technology Benchmarking • Reg. 419 Section 32 Methodology • Thorough review of options • Thoughtful evaluation of feasibility • Justified selection of solution

  9. Technology Benchmarking • Available control technologies are identified and reviewed • Three categories of control options are considered • Material Substitution (Prevention) • Process Change (Minimization) • Add-on Controls (Treatment) • Technical feasibility of control options in each category is determined.

  10. Benchmarking contd. • Emission (odour) reduction potential of technically feasible options are estimated and ranked from greatest to least effective • Site specific factors considered • Collateral effects • Cost • Appropriate site specific technically feasible emission (odour) reduction actions selected

  11. Benchmarking - Example Coating Systems - Operations to obtain a functional and aesthetic finish. The three elements of a coating system that relate to potential air emissions are • Coating type (Material) • Method of application (process) • Add on emission control Available control options for the above 3 categories should be considered.

  12. Available Control Options

  13. Technically Feasible Control Options

  14. Emission Reduction Potential of feasible Options Emission reduction potential of technically feasible options is considered for all 3 categories

  15. Emission Reduction Potential of feasible Options Contd.

  16. Emission Reduction Potential of feasible Options Contd.

  17. Benchmarking - example • Rank options based upon greatest to least effective in potential emission (odour) reductions. • Select and justify most appropriate actions based upon site specific considerations of feasible technology.

  18. Technology Benchmarking Summarized: • Identify potential technologies • Evaluate feasibility to site specific circumstances • Rank feasible options from best to least • Select most feasible technology appropriate to site • Select best feasible technology appropriate to site
