The main work items of Stationary air pollution source control project are:(1)Database establishment, system function upgrade and data QA/QC. (2)Stationary Sources Permit application documents exam and issue, including permit inquisition. (3) Report and check of air pollutant emissions quantities. (4)Inspection by air pollutant testing. (5)Training for dedicated air pollution control personnel.(6) Stationary source of particulate pollutants oven control.
This project was empowered by a contract which issued by the Bureau of Environmental Protection, Tainan County. The project started on Nov 2010, and will be ended on June 2011. The percentage of the project is 100%. The progress for each work task is outlined in detail as below.
1.Database establishment, system function upgrade
For the work of emission inventory database update, the data of 461 stationary pollution sources has been checked and updated. The percentage of this work item is 102%.
2.Permit system
In the management and issuance of permits, 292permits have been issued, including 33 installation permits, 10 modified permits, 45 operation permits, 74 change permits, 61 renewed permits, 65 re-issued permits and 4 coal-fired permits.
Periodic inspection for operation permits has been performed on 549 operation permits. Among them, 60 operation permits didn’t meet the contents of permits, and the discrepancy of inspection was 10.9%. Further, the plants have been asked to modify and improve the inconformity. 35plants reported their modification or changes, and got new permits which fit their status quo.
3. Report and check of air pollutant emissions quantities
274stationary pollution sources are required to report annual emissions by regulation in Tainan County(1st batch: 93 plants and 2nd batch:181 plants). The reporting rate of it has reached 100% (from the beginning of 3rd season to the end of 1st season, 2011). Inspection for reporting annual emissions was conducted on 195 plants;86% of it proved correct(168 plants),14% of it showed discrepancy(27 plants).
4. Inspection by air pollutant testing
Inspection by air pollutant testing was performed to fulfill the midterm requirement, including 6 plumes for dioxin testing, 4 plume for heavy metals testing, and 6 plumes for SOx, NOx and particulate. We also took 15 fuel samples from different plants to check if the sulfur in the sample violets the standard (0.5%) and 9 times area sampling for surrounding particulate matter.
5. Training for dedicated air pollution control personnel
A conference was held on June 9 2011 and the other was held on June 13 2011, attendance percentage 80%
6. Stationary source of particulate pollutants oven control
Inspection was performed on 155 plants for particulate pollutants oven control.
7.General patrol ：Total of 81 times of patrol assignment were conducted.
8. Other work items
(1) 4 articles of environmental protection news were posted.
(2) 68 cases of air pollution qualified persons replacement were proposed and approved.
(3) Case Handling for the Notification of the Air Quality Deterioration Total of 17 cases were notified during the project period and patrol staffs were then sent out to check on 18 public or private premises.
