The new EfW Emissions BREF comes into force next week.

Exactly four years after being announced by the European Commission, the new Energy-from-Waste (EfW) Best Available Techniques Reference (BREF) document applies from the start of December.

This new legislation, which relates to waste incineration facilities across the EU and the UK, requires far lower atmospheric emissions to be achieved, particularly for NOx, mercury and VOCs including dioxins and furans.

Activated carbon is recognised within the BREF as being the best technology for the abatement of mercury and VOCs, both in post-incinerator flue gas treatment (FGT) systems and also in the treatment of process and wastewater.

Puragen is the market leader in the supply of powdered activated carbon (PAC) into this sector and our FiltraCarb® FGT® range sets a benchmark for performance and value-for-money.  We also offer a specialised double-impregnated PAC, called FiltraCarb® IPK-J, which has traditionally been used extensively within the medical waste sector, where there is a risk of higher mercury levels, but which is also now being used by an increasing number of municipal EfW facilities who are concerned about the new BREF limits.

To find out more about our range of FGT® activated carbons, or to discuss your PAC requirements, please get in touch.
