At ILM's Air Quality and Emissions (AQE) event, Ben Freeman of the Environment Agency spoke about the development of the protocol for determining the need for continuous mercury monitoring in waste incineration, touching on: the details of the new BREF requirements; the consequences of non-compliance; and which plants are subject to these requirements.

• What if your plant does not require mercury CEMs?
• Will municipal waste incinerators be subject to BREF requirements?
• What allowances are given if a plant cannot initially prove compliance?
• After proving compliance, how will continued performance be monitored?
• What is the threshold for compliance with new mercury BREF requirements?
• How do you monitor mercury in waste incinerators according to BREF requirements?
• How effective is this protocol when compared to a general requirement to fit mercury CEMs?
