ABB hosted and supported a recent high-level seminar on Regulatory affairs – monitoring of waste water discharges under PPC. ABB fielded two speakers in the line-up, which also included specialist suppliers, regulators and certification bodies. The packed seminar was chaired by John Tipping of the Environment Agency.
ABBs Tony Hoyle discussed the Environment Agencys Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTS) with particular relevance to flow measurement and verification, while Matt Bardell from ABBs engineering services spoke about the requirements for aqueous monitoring under PPC and the use of Best Available Techniques to achieve it.
MCERTS aims to ensure accurate discharge monitoring as the Environment Agency moves towards a situation where potential polluters are increasingly required to monitor their own activities. MagMaster magnetic flow meters from ABB are currently in the process of receiving MCERTS approval, while the companys meter verification system, CalMaster2, is being prepared for submission to the regulators chosen certification body, SIRA.
All the presentations from the workshop are now available on the Sensors for Water Interest Groups (SWIG) website (www.swig.org.uk).
SWIG is planning to hold a further Midlands based seminar on the regulations early next year.
