Technological approaches and policy analysis of integrated water pollution prevention and control for the coal-to-methanol industry based on Best Available Technology

L’Autorizzazione Integrata Ambientale (AIA) è il provvedimento che autorizza l’esercizio di un impianto o parte di esso, in cui si svolgono attività che potrebbero causare significativi impatti ambientali. Con l’AIA le imprese possono uniformarsi ai principi di IPPC che sta per Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control, individuando soluzioni tecniche, impiantistiche ed economiche, per una corretta gestione delle possibili forme di inquinamento. Per raggiungere elevati livelli di protezione dell’ambiente bisogna adottare le Migliori Tecniche Disponibili, in inglese Best Available Technology (BAT). Ad oggi in Italia non è ancora presente un metodo di studio delle migliori tecnologie disponibili, ma una diversa situazione si ha nel Regno Unito dove viene il software H1. Lo scopo del presente lavoro è individuare una metodologia di studio delle BAT per un impianto di trattamento della Frazione Organica dei Rifiuti Solidi Urbani (FORSU) e scarti ligneo-cellulosici per la produzione di biometano situato in Italia, applicando per lo stesso il software inglese.

And Control

The water quality monitoring revealed that the water quality in Poyang Lake is increasely degenerating in the past several years and the deterioration reasons were analyzed. The increasingly serious water pollution indicated that there were inherent drawbacks in current environmental management system of China. Therefore, the typical models of water pollution prevention and control in developed countries and China were researched. The explorations of water pollution prevention and control based on ecosystem management for Poyang Lake were reviewed, especially the practice of Mountain-River-Lake (MRL) Program in Poyang Lake Basin. At last, the challenges of water pollution prevention and control in Poyang Lake Basin was put forword such as law and policy, organization structure, participation mechanism. The researches indicated that the multiplicity and complexity of nature, humanities, society and economy in Poyang Lake determined its importance and necessity to implement ecosystem-based water environment management. In the future construction of water pollution prevention model based on integrated ecosystem management is an inevitable trend for Poyang Lake basin.

And Control

AbstractCouncil Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) is an important EU framework regime for the control of polluting emissions from major industrial sources. The concept of BestAvailable Techniques (commonly known as BAT) is the core element of the Directive and permits issued for industrial installations need to take account thereof. Therefore, the proper implementation of the IPPC Directive vis-a-vis individual installations can be assessed, among others, on the basis of whether or not BAT applies. Whilst the concept of Best Available Technology (used by the predecessor of the IPPC Directive) is less stringent, the European Court of Justice has taken a strict approach regarding its application by Member States and the adaptation of existing installations to this concept.
