BACKGROUND DOCUMENT FOR CONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE JCP HOT SPOT NO. 88.8 – “PRZYJAZN” COKING PLANT IN DABROWA GORNICZA (KATOWICE)

One of the Polish industrial plants included in the list of hot-spots of Joint Comprehensive Environmental Action Programme is „Przyjazn” coking plant in Dabrowa Gornicza (No. of Hot-Spot: 88.8). The plant is located in the Katowice area in the west-southern part of Poland, in Silesia Province, hundreds kilometres from the Baltic Sea. In 2006, during the yearly investigation of hot-spots located in Poland by Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection the case of “Przyjazn” coking plant has been analysed. The investigation revealed very good performance of the plant, which achieves high environmental standards and applies Best Available Techniques with regard to both the process integrated measures and the end-of-pipe techniques. However, we have noticed that despite application of BAT to minimise the emission of particulate matter from coke pushing, which is reflected by >99% efficiency for dust collection, the emission of 5 kg particular matter/t coke, as recommended in Best Available Techniques Reference Document for coke oven plants is not being achieved. According to the plant experts judgement it is neither feasible or cost-efficient to further improve the de-dusting of coke-pushing. The existing technique represents BAT, enabling achieving very low concentration of particular matter about 5,4 mg/m3. Detailed description of the plant performance is presented below. The Meeting is invited to consider the situation of the Hot Spot and give advice how to assess the plant against criteria for deletion of the Hot Spot from the Hot Spot List.

Note by Secretariat: FOR REASONS OF ECONOMY, THE DELEGATES ARE KINDLY REQUESTED TO BRING THEIR OWN COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTS TO THE MEETING
