This session will explain the purpose of the training package, introduce the key elements and outline the sessions for the day.

This session will give delegates an understanding of the nature of air pollution and will introduce them to the categories of pollutants (particles, gases, vapours, mist, fume, etc).  Interesting sub categories, acids, ozone, NOx and SOx (link to AQM) will also be mentioned. Finally we will give a review of the common control techniques for the above species.

This session will ensure delegates have an understanding of the nature of water pollution (generally), and will introduce them to the categories of these pollutants (suspended solids, chemical indicators, biological indicators and physical indicators).  Sensitivities of receptors (wells, drinking water, aquifers, ground water and surface water will also be mentioned. Interesting sub categories, (pH, suspended solids, heat, nitrates) will also be covered. Finally we will give a review of the common control techniques for the above species.

This session will give delegates an understanding of the nature of land contamination (generally) and will introduce them to the categories of such pollutants (chemical, physical and biological).  Interesting sub categories, (pH, heavy metals, VOCs, oils) will be covered. Sensitivities of receptors will also be mentioned. Finally we will give a review of the common control techniques for the above species.

This session will give delegates an understanding of the nature of these pollutants (generally) and will introduce them to the various categories (impact noise, tonal noise, energy, green-house gases (eg CO₂), hazardous and non-hazardous waste.  Interesting sub categories, (special waste, low frequency noise) will also be mentioned. Finally we will give a review of the common control techniques, including Government programmes for reducing releases of CO₂ from industrial and commercial processes.

This session will give a review of how the H1 Assessment Tool can be used to assess / test / demonstrate that BAT has been correctly chosen. The procedure is based on a modified approach to the H1 Guidance Note technique, but adapted to fit a typical A2 process situation.

This session will review the role of Chimney height calculations and ADMS. It will also look at water modelling – what can be done and why. In addition it will mention the role of waste audits and how these can be used to identify, quantify and qualify waste streams. Finally it will look at noise assessments and demonstrating compliance.

The PPC 2 Knowledge Check will enable you to review your understanding of the course material from the 6 sessions across PPC 2.

Participants will have three attempts at the Knowledge Check and a score of 75% is required to pass.
