1.2 Environmental issues<br />

The key environmental issues of the OFC sector are:<br />

• emission of volatile organic compounds<br />

• waste waters with potential for high loads of non-<strong>de</strong>gradable organic compounds<br />

• relatively large quantities of spent solvents<br />

• non-recyclable waste in high ratio.<br />

The enormous variety of possibly handled (and emitted) substances also inclu<strong>de</strong>s highly<br />

harmful compounds which may be toxic, suspected of being carcinogenic or being carcinogenic.<br />

The following values may give an impression of the dimensions:<br />

• if a new company with a solvent input of 10000 tonnes per year (which is not unusual)<br />

meets the limits of the VOC Directive, overall emissions of 500 tonnes VOC yearly are<br />

possible<br />

• if the same company does not operate its own recycling/incineration facilities, the remaining<br />

portion of about 9500 tonnes spent solvents have to be disposed of<br />

• for the same company, it would be not unusual to emit 50 tonnes COD yearly, representing<br />

organic compounds which were not <strong>de</strong>gra<strong>de</strong>d in the company’s waste water treatment plant<br />

• from a larger plant with a more “difficult” production spectrum, an annual emission of 1000<br />

tonnes COD is possible.<br />

Prevention, minimisation and recovery/abatement of waste streams<br />

The reaction itself and the operations carried out to purify or separate the product create a<br />

variety of waste streams (exhaust gases, mother liquors, wash-waters, spent solvents, spent<br />

catalysts, by-products) which have to be i<strong>de</strong>ntified. If a particular waste stream cannot be<br />

avoi<strong>de</strong>d by process modification, it is a crucial challenge in the multipurpose plant to assign this<br />

waste stream to recovery or abatement facilities or to dispose of it as waste (Figure 1.3).<br />

Production and<br />

related activities<br />

Waste streams from<br />

production and related<br />

activities, e.g.<br />

• exhaust gases<br />

• process waters<br />

• process residues<br />

• spent solvents<br />

• spent catalysts<br />

• by-products<br />
