Well said Paddy but its not just the UK its all of Europe. Pleasingly so as
well.
The legislation aims for an integrated approach to pollution prevention and
control and covers all emmissions (noise, vibration, light, heat, fumes,
vapours) so that we can live in a healthier environment. If it closes down
cowboy operators who don't respect their environment then so be it.

[biofuel] UK environment agency

2002-01-09 Thread goat industries

Kieth, thanks for your encouragement and comments on possible biodisel
pollution. I have it on good authority that the UK environment agency
require a 'bribe' of  approx $USD 30,000 to analyse possible pollution. If
biodiesel plant dischaeges mirky water into the water system here without
authority big fines are payable, whether it's biodegradable or not. The UK
is a very polluted place and, being a small island, nowhere is far from the
coast. Personally I don't blame the authorities for taking a tough stance.
If a biodiesel factory was discharging mirky water on my favorite beach I
would not be happy, being a keen windsurfer. There's already a huge sewerage
problem all round the coast and most rivers are already full of all kinds of
crap.

Could the murky water left over from the production of biodiesel be 
distilled?  If it could it would at least reduce the volume to contend with.

At what energy cost? Bathwater is murky, laundry wash is murky, 
kitchen waste-water's murky, toilet water's rather more than murky, 
there's nothing about biodiesel wash to challenge a water treatment 
works. It's innocuous. It's a molehill, like I said, we don't need an 
Everest expedition. As Paddy says, there's already a huge (and 
long-standing) problem with UK water, but it's caused by all kinds 
of crap, including real crap, not by murky water. It might be a 
genuine concern to him if he's planning on setting up a more or less 
large-scale commercial production, but I'd guess that many (most?) 
other manufacturing processes would just love to have his problem 
instead, and for the rest of us fuelling one or a few vehicles a 
week, it's no problem at all. I think a commercial bd plant should 
have little problem pre-treating washwater before releasing it if 
it's going to be an issue.
