The present permit is granted for the next facilities:
o Desalting unit
o Primary distillation units
o Wastewater plant treatment
4/21
Desalting unit description
a) Purpose and principle: Crude oil and heavy residues can contain varying quantities of
inorganic compounds such as water soluble salts, sand, silt, rust and other solids, together
characterised as bottoms sediment. These impurities, especially salts, can lead to fouling and
corrosion of heat exchangers (crude preheaters) and especially the crude distillation unit
overhead system. In addition, salts are detrimental to the activity of many of the catalysts used
in the downstream conversion processes and sodium salts stimulate coke formation (e.g. in
furnaces). The principle of desalting is to wash the crude oil or heavy residues with water at
high temperature and pressure to dissolve, separate and remove the salts and solids.
b) Feed and products streams: Crude oil and/or heavy residues (oily feedstock) and reused and
fresh water are the feedstreams to the desalter and washed crude oil and contaminated water
are the outputs of the desalting processes. The water phase from the overhead crude
distillation unit of the overhead and other used water streams are normally fed to the desalter
as washwater.
c) Process description: After preheating to 115 – 150 °C, the oily feedstock is mixed with water
(fresh and preused water) in order to dissolve and wash out the salts. Intimate mixing takes
place between the oil and the wash water together in a globe valve mixer, a static mixer or a
combination of both. The water must then be separated from the oil feedstock in a separating
vessel by adding demulsifier chemicals to assist in breaking up the emulsion and/or, more
commonly, by applying a high potential electric field across the settling vessel to coalesce the
polar salt water droplets. Either AC or DC fields may be used and potentials from 15 to 35 kV
are used to promote coalescence.
The separation efficiency depends on pH, density and viscosity of the crude oil, as well as the
volume of wash water used per volume of crude. Many refineries have more than one desalter
and multiple-stage desalters also exist.
The washwater containing dissolved hydrocarbons, free oil, dissolved salts and suspended
solids is further treated in an effluent treatment plant.
Where bottoms sediments are critical in downstream process units, desalters are equipped
with a bottom flushing system to remove settled solids.
Primary distillation units description
This section includes atmospheric and vacuum distillation. These two primary distillations are
preceded by crude oil desalting and they are the first and fundamental separation processes in
a refinery.
a) Purpose and principle: In Atmospheric Crude Oil Distillation Unit (CDU), crude oil is heated
to elevated temperatures and then generally subjected to distillation under atmospheric
pressure (or slightly higher) separating the various fractions according to their boiling range.
Heavier fractions from the CDU bottom of the, which do not vaporise in this column, can be
further separated later by vacuum distillation, which is simply the distillation of petroleum
fractions at a very low pressure to increase volatilisation and separation whilst avoiding
5/21
thermal cracking. The high vacuum unit (HVU) is normally the first processing step in upgrading
atmospheric residue followed by downstream refining units. HVU produces feedstocks for
cracking units, coking, bitumen and base oil units. The contaminants from the crude oil stay
predominantly in the vacuum residue.
b) Feed and products streams: The crude oil feed to the crude distillation unit is supplied from
the crude oil storage tanks after desalting. Normally all crude oil entering a refinery passes
through a crude distillation unit. In addition to that, it is common practice that off-specification
product streams are reprocessed in the CDU.
The products from the crude distillation unit, ranging from the lightest to the heaviest cut are:
naphtha and light components (boiling <180 °C/C1-C12 lights, naphtha and gasoline)
kerosene (boiling range 180 – 240°C – C8-C17)
light gasoil (boiling range approximately 240 - 300 °C/C8-C25)
heavy gasoil (boiling range approximately 300 – 360 °C/C20 - C25)
atmospheric residue (boiling >360 °C/>C22).
The overhead of this column is the light fraction, non-condensable refinery fuel gas (mainly
methane and ethane). Typically this gas also contains hydrogen sulphide and ammonia gases.
The mixture of these gases is known as ‘sour gas’ or ‘acid gas’. A certain amount of it passes
through the condenser to a hot well, and is then discharged to the refinery sour fuel system or
vented to a process heater, flare or other control device to destroy hydrogen sulphide.
The main feed stream to the HVU is the bottom stream of the crude oil distillation unit,
referred to as atmospheric or long residue. In addition the bleed stream from the hydrocracker
unit (if applicable) is normally sent to the HVU for further processing. The products from the
HVU are light vacuum gasoil, heavy vacuum gasoil and vacuum residue. Light vacuum gasoil is
normally routed to the gasoil hydrotreater(s), heavy gasoil is normally routed to a fluid cat
cracker and/or hydrocracker unit. The vacuum residue can have many destinations such as
visbreaking, flexicoking or delayed coking, residue hydroprocessing, residue gasification,
bitumen blowing or it may go to the heavy fuel oil pool.
c) Process description of Atmospheric distillation: Distillation involves the heating, vaporisation,
fractionation, condensation, and cooling of feedstocks. The desalted crude oil is heated to
about 300 – 400 ºC and fed to a vertical distillation column at atmospheric pressure where
most of the feed is vaporised and separated into its various fractions by condensing on 30 to
50 fractionation trays, each corresponding to a different condensation temperature. The
lighter fractions condense and are collected towards the top of the column. The overhead
hydrocarbon vapours are condensed and accumulated in the overhead reflux drum of the
main fractionator. In this drum sour water, light fractions (about 0.5 % on crude charge) and
stripping steam (1.5 % on crude) are separated from the hydrocarbon liquid. The overhead
hydrocarbon liquid, so called the naphtha minus stream, is commonly fed directly to the
downstream naphtha treater.
6/21
Within each atmospheric distillation tower, a number of side-streams of low-boiling point
components are removed from different trays in the tower. These low-boiling point mixtures
are in equilibrium with heavier components which must be removed. The side-streams are
each sent to a different small stripping tower containing four to ten trays with steam injection
under the bottom tray. The steam strips the light-end components from the heavier
components and both the steam and light-ends are fed back to the atmospheric distillation
tower above the corresponding side-stream draw tray. Most of these fractions generated in
the atmospheric distillation column can be sold as finished products after a hydrotreatment, or
blended with products from downstream processes.
The operating conditions of the tower are based on the properties of the crude oil and the
desired product yields and quality. Every refinery has a crude distillation unit designed for a
selected crude (mix).
Process description
The main process to obtain all the different products from crude oil is the crude oil distillation.
The refinery used for this case study has two units of crude oil distillation. The distillation unit
has a capacity of 8.500.000 t of crude oil a year. In these units, the crude oil is separated into
different fractions depending on their boiling point: LPG, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, etc.
The following units are subject to this permit:
-
Feeding system with pumps that transport the crude oil from storage tanks to the
units, giving the proper pressure to be able to introduce them to the process.
-
Heat exchangers, which heat the crude oil before and after the desalting units using
the hot flows from the same unit.
-
Desalting unit, where the salt within the crude oil is eliminated through water
injection.
-
Loading furnace, to increase the temperature of crude oil until the necessary
temperature for fractioning.
-
Distillation column, where all the crude oil components are separated into fractions,
from lightest ones, extracted through the head of the column, until the heaviest ones,
extracted through the bottom of the column. There are also several lateral extractions
for intermediate products.
-
Stripping columns, where the lightest products of the three intermediated fractions
are removed. The objective is to remove light components from kerosene, diesel and
atmospheric gas oil, in order to reduce their ignition point.
The fractions obtained in the crude distillation are:
- LPG
- Non stabilized naphtha
- Kerosene
- Diesel
- Atmospheric GO

-
Atmospheric waste, that is the bottom fraction that is not possible to distillate under
atmospheric conditions.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
3.1 AIR
3.1.1 Channeled air emissions
The total polluted air emissions in the unit will be channeled through the same general stack
located at:
UTM X: 351.000
UTM Y: 4.550.000
As a result of the dispersion model study, the height of the stack will be, at least, 113.8 m and
the inner diameter will be 7.76 m.
This height guarantees, according with the results of the dispersion model analyzed (during
the EIA procedure as well as this IED/IPPC procedure) that the air quality levels, in the
surroundings or the refinery, will fulfil the standards in that scope.
The stack will be equipped with four points of measuring and a platform. The measurement
points are located at 3 times the diameter length from the outside and 6 times the diameter
length from the last perturbation.
The installation shall fulfil the next emission limit values thar are established in dry basis and
normal conditions of pressure and temperature. (P=101,3 kPa i T=273 K). All the values will be
corrected to a 3% O2 contents for combustion process with liquid or gaseous fuel.

Not determined in European
BREFs
(*) For the EU refining sector the Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (Annex V, Part
7) sets the emission limit values for multi-fuel firing combustion plants. According to this
Annex V, multi-fuel firing combustion plants within a refinery, with the exception of gas
turbines and gas engines, which use the distillation and conversion residues from the refining
of crude-oil for own consumption, alone or with other fuels, have to comply with the following
average emission limit values for SO2:
a) For combustion plants which were granted a permit before 27 November 2002 or the
operators of which had submitted a complete application for a permit before that date,
provided that the plant was put into operation no later than 27 November 2003: 1000
mg/Nm3;
b) For other combustion plants: 600 mg/Nm3.
However, this Directive also states that, on the basis of the best available techniques, the
European Commission shall review the need to establish EU-wide emission limit values and to
amend these emission limit values. It would be expectable that this review would lead to the
establishment of similar values to those in the BREF document for oil and gas refining.
In addition to this, the national legislation in Turkey establishes, through the 27277 By-Law on
Control of Air Pollution caused by Industry, the emission limit values for combustion facilities
using liquid fuels. As it has been explained in the BAT Guide for oil refineries prepared within
the context of the IPPC Twinning Project, the refining industry in Turkey may have certain units
that have not been designed according to the new European legislation and which still have an
operation lifetime that can last for many years, and it could be the case of the combustion
units that operate only with liquid fuels. For these units, a transition period should be
regulated by the competent authorities taking into account the emission limit values set in
Annex 5 paragraph 4.4 of the above mentioned 27277 By-Law.
11/21
(**) In the case of the Spanish refinery of Puertollano there is an emission limit value of 5
mg/Nm3 for H2S, however there are no BAT-AELs associated to this pollutant. In our opinion, it
could be acceptable that the competent authorities decide not to set emission levels of H2S in
this stack, because under normal conditions the main sulphur compound will be SO2.
(***) We propose an emission limit value of 50 mg/Nm3 for COVs, however there are no BATAELs associated to this pollutant. In our opinion, it could be acceptable that the competent
authorities decide not to set emission levels of COVs in this stack, because under normal
conditions the possible organic compounds will be in their oxidized form.
Bubble limits (Puertollano refinery –example-)1
For the evaluation of global emissions from the refinery (emissions bubble), it shall be
established a limit in terms of the annual average concentration, which will cover the
combustion units of the refinery, conventional and non-conventional facilities, including
cogeneration units.

Measurement methods
The measurement methods specified below are considered as the most appropriate at the
moment to issue this environmental permit. If in the future, any new more suitable rules or

shall be adopted for the implementation of relevant controls.
The measurement methods for general parameters are:

Continuous measurement
Access and working platforms at sampling points in the stack shall fulfill the provisions of
Turkish by-law relative to the minimum safety and health conditions in the workplace.
All continuous measuring systems must be calibrated by an accredited environmental control
body or consultancy firm.
The calibration of the analyzers of source 1 will be made according to the Standard EN 14181
and, therefore, as established in the rule:
An annual follow-up test must be made (with a prior functionality test).
A calibration with a reference method must be made carried out (NGC2) every 4 years
(prior to the functionality test).
Procedures for “zero deviations” and "span" must be done (NGC3) continuously by the
responsible for the installation.
Prior to implementation of the facility it must be presented a project with the technical
characteristics of the equipment, the location and the time of implementation that must be
approved by the competent authority.
Continuous measurements of pollutant sources will be considered as fulfilling the ELV if:
None of the monthly averages exceed the ELV over the period of a year and
97% of the averages of 48 hours for pollutants SO2 and TSP do not exceed 110% of the
emission limits and
95% of the averages of 48 hours for NOx do not exceed 110% of the emission limits.
The data collected, which must be stored for a minimum period of five years, should be
available for any inspection carried out by the competent authority.
All facilities monitored continuously (both emission sources and flares), must have the
necessary equipment for sending the information related to parameters and pollutant
emission controlled continuously to the competent authorities.
The owner, for those equipment installed in continuous (pollutant analyzers and measuring of
different parameters) in which there is no connection to the competent authority, must submit
monthly the emission data according to the format established in the competent authority’s
template for communications.
In the event that any anomaly occurs in the operation of continuous emissions monitoring
systems or emissions are detected which are higher than some legal limit emission levels for
two or more consecutive half-hours, local authorities must be informed immediately.
13/21
In case of a failure of the measurement system which prevents continuous emission signals to
be recorded continuously for a period exceeding 48 hours, this will be communicated to the
local authorities who will define an alternative monitoring plan, if appropriate, in accordance
with current legislation and the environmental permit.
Emissions through flares
The units authorized and the rest of the refinery will use the same flare as a safety system to
treat discharges from any unit in case of emergency shutdown, electrical failure o any other
anomalous situation.
To this system will be also sent other gases from purges, safety valves, vents or any other
discontinuous combustible flows, to avoid sending them directly to the atmosphere without
being treated.
To estimate the work time of the flare it could be assumed that it is running 24h/day all the
year, because, although there is no any continuous flow sent to the flare, there are a lot of
discontinuous flows sent to it so it could be assumed that it will be running almost in a
continuous way.
The flare will be located at:
UTM X: 350.000
UTM Y: 4.500.000
In order to avoid the impacts of the noise, the height of the flare will be at least 100 m and the
inner diameter 1,5 m.
Immediately before the flare, there will be located a recovery system composed, basically, by a
compressor with the capacity of liquefy 2t/h of gasses that will be reused in the process as
fuel-gas to reduce air emissions and energy consumption.
The flare will work as a security device to release the pressure of the units within the
installation, both in normal and emergency conditions. If the owner cannot meet this
condition, he shall submit, within six months, a project to implement a system to minimize
these waste gas streams.
The flare will be equipped with flow meters (with variable interval range) recording
continuously the volumes of different streams sent to the flare system.
For the flare, the owner will have a specific log book where all incidents outside the normal
operation of the activity causing the delivery of gas to the flare will be registered. The book
must be numbered, and approved by the competent authority.
In the case of black smoke and flames visible in the flare, the owner must notify, by fax or
email to the competent authorities, the forecast duration and effects of the incident. This
notification will be made before the incident or as soon as possible.
14/21
3.1.2 Diffuse air emissions
To avoid fugitive or diffuse emissions of substances (excluding odour, noise and vibration) the
operator shall maintain a LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) programme for testing potential
sources of fugitive emissions of VOCs from different units at the installation, as described in its
application. (See Chapter 5 of the Turkish Guide)
The establishment of LDAR systems are systems considered as a BAT for oil refining systems
with a prevision of a 40-60% of reduction in diffuse emissions of VOCs.
3.1.3 Noise emissions to the surroundings of the installation:
The operator shall maintain a noise management plan with, at least, the next scope:
-
Absorbent materials of special mineral wool installed at the exit of valves and
pipelines.
-
Noise dampers in some electrical motors.
-
Silencers in some critical vents.
-
Sound screens and baffles to surround the ventilator of crude oil pumps.
The operator shall review the plan annually and record at least once a year or as soon as
practicable after a complaint (whichever comes earlier), whether changes to the plan should
be made and make any appropriate changes to the plan identified after its review.2

3.2 Wastewater discharges:
The description of the system of wastewater treatment and its different lines is as follows:
WATER LINE 1: that connects the next water streams:
- Sour and ammonia waters, from condensate distillation, condensation, coking and
cracking units.
- Oily water of cracking, refineries, lubricants and conversion units.
- Stripping towers.
These streams are combined in a single flow, which passes through the API3 separators
to remove completely the oils. These separators consist of 2 units of 550 m3 each, with
2 channels and collection and pumping system.
There are two possible destinations of water line 1:
-
Separation of oils by dissolved air flotation (DAF4), composed by 6 equal cells
with a unitary volume of 160 m3.
2 ponds with 12000 and 8000 m3 of capacity to retain and dose the amount of
rain water or wastewater sent for further treating, regulating the flow.
o
-
Union to waterline 2, before the final treatment:
WATERLINE 2 :
 Wastewater from offices, laboratories access: sent directly to the final
treatment (WATERLINE 3).
 Cleaning purges from cooling towers: separation of oils.
o
o
Union of different streams in WATERLINE 2, with 2 possible destinations:
Gravimetric decanter.
2 ponds with 5000 and 4000 m3 of capacity to retain and
dose the amount of rain water or wastewater sent for
further treating which is connected to gravimetric decanter.
Separation of oils (DAF)
3
API oil-water separator: device designed to separate bulk amounts of oil and suspended
solids. The name is derived from the fact that such separators are designed according to
standards published by the American Petroleum Institute.
4
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) process which cleans wastewaters by the removal of suspended
matter such as oil or solids.
16/21
o
-
Union to waterline 1, before the final treatment:
WATER LINE 3 (FINAL TREATMENT):
o
o
o
o
Union of all previous flows in pools of pre-aeration with diffusers that
receive air through blowers. A chemical oxidation of dissolved organic
matter takes place at this stage.
Biological treatment: hydraulic regime in flow on piston with 8 parallel
channels and oxygenation with diffusers that receive air through blowers.
4 conical bottom decanters of 2,100 m3 of capacity with sludge
recirculation.
Pools to oxygenate the effluent before discharge:
- Oxygenation pond of 800 m3 by turbines.
- Pond of tertiary treatment of 10,000 m3 with perimeter of banks with
reeds and canes in order to favour photosynthesis. Waters must be
recirculated to the head of the refinery.
- Final pond before the final discharge through a concrete channel.
- Before that channel there will be two samplers to scan and monitor
the concentrations of TOC, NH3 and F-.
SLUDGES LINE:
From WATERLINE N1:
- Sludges generated in API: Wastes treated by an external authorised company.
- Sludges generated in cells: they must be recovered in the Coke Unit, like cooling
chambers waters. The excess water will be sent to centrifugation and dryed for its
subsequent treatment by an external authorised company.
From WATERLINE N2:
- Sludges generated in the primary decanter: they will be mix with sludges generated in
cells following the same destination.
Sludges generated in cells: they must be recovered in the Coke Unit, like cooling
chambers waters. The excess water will be sent to centrifugation and dryed for its
subsequent treatment by an external authorised company.
From FINAL TREATMENT:
- Purge of biological sludges must be recovered in the Coke Unit, like cooling chambers
waters. The excess water will be sent to centrifugation and dryed for its subsequent
treatment by an external authorised company.

3.3 Waste management
The operator shall implement the waste management plan, to ensure, in this priority order,
that waste is prepared for reuse, recycling, recovery or disposal (BAT).
This waste management plan must include the following techniques, that shall be applied in
the installation and which result in minimisation of wastes sent for disposal or external
treatment:
-
-
Correct conditioning of a catalyst extends the catalyst’s life
Process optimisation leads to less off-specification product and hence less recycling
Recycling caustic soda sufficiently to ensure it is completely spent.
The water treatment chemicals must be added in a controlled manner to reduce
excess sludge formation or scale build up.
Use of polyelectrolyte chemicals rather than inorganic flocculants such as ferric
chloride which generate excess sludge volumes.
Segregation of different wastes.
Sludge treatment by dewatering and drying with the purpose of reducing the volume
and the residual hydrocarbon content in order to save subsequent processing or
disposal costs. (BAT)
Oily sludge must be processed in units (coking) as part of the feed due to their oil
content. (BAT)

3.4 Soil and groundwater protection:
According to the monitoring plan carried out in the installation, there will be a prevention
program covering at least the following issues:
-
Maintenance of existing storage tanks, with the objective of failure detection and
correction, mainly at bottom of tanks before a hypothetical accidental release.
-
Underground pipelines maintenance to avoid corrosion. Hydraulic test will be
practiced to check if there is any leak.
-
Periodical monitoring using a network with, at least, 41 piezometers.
-
Within a period of two years, all underground pipelines shall be under cathodic
protection to avoid corrosion. 6

highly recommendable a coordinated work between
the EIA and Permit Competent Authorities. This part of

3.- OPERATION CONDITIONS
 It is important that the EIA decision does not
include operation conditions neither ELVs,
avoiding to invade the scope of the IEP. In this
sense, the EIA decision must be such that it will
support the “fulfillment of the conditions
that shall be imposed in the IEP”.

The goal of the EIA procedure consists in
evaluating the feasibility of the facility. Therefore,
its ELVs must be a “minimum” protection
requirement that, afterwards, the IPPC/IED permit
must be able to make stricter in order to be
compliant with the compulsory BAT Associated
Emission Levels.
EIA vs. IED
 It is necessary to remind that those BAT AELs
are based, not only on the basis of environment
protection, but also to guarantee a common level
playing field among different facilities of a given
sector within the countries affected by the IED.

4. PLANNING OF THE MONITORING OPERATIONS
AND INSPECTIONS.
The Permit Competent Authority, in its global
assessment, will include all the monitoring
requirements, avoiding redundant demands,
ensuring an efficient global moniring and, during
the planned and suggested meeting with the EIA
authority, the possible disagreements should be
considerably reduced.

Coordination between the

EIA
and
the
Integrated
SITUATIONS FACED IN PRACTICE:
During the permitting process, particularly in the integrated assessment phase of the whole project,
we can meet two possible situations that require a communication and coordination between EIA
and IEP experts:
-
The draft EIA Decision evaluates unnecessarily aspects typical of the IEP (for instance
emission limit values), limiting the capacity of imposing BAT Associated Emission Levels (BAT
AELs), monitoring and operation conditions, ELVs, etc, or even imposing certain dimensions
to the stacks, based for instance in the results of the dispersion model (evaluated in EIA
procedure).
-
For some cases where the permitting authority checks that an IEP cannot be issued for a
certain project proposal, it is better to issue a negative EIA Decision because of aspects that
in principle must be evaluated within the IEP procedure, in order to finish in a faster way the
procedure (for example, the EIA may not evaluate a priori a waste water discharge because it
considers that this aspect must be assessed by the IEP experts, and the IEP experts find the
discharge inadmissible, then it may be advisable to issue a EIA negative decision based on
that fact).
Considering the above mentioned interactions between EIA and IEP assessment, the
recommendation consists in making a case by case assessment always having a coordination of the
competent authorities involved in EIA and IED/IPPC procedures.
EIA ROLE WITHIN THE IEP PROCEDURE ACCORDING TO THE DRAFT BY-LAW
ON IEP:
If the installation which applies to obtain the integrated environmental permit (IEP) falls under the
scope of the By-Law 26939, published in the Official Gazette on the 07/07/2008, on Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA), it will have to include in the permit application file the EIA report
mentioned in the article 11 of that By-Law (see figure below).
This means that the EIA procedure starts earlier, and the IEP application cannot be sent until the EIA
report mentioned in the article 11 of By-Law 26939 is available to be included. For those installations
that according to the By-Law 26939 do not require an EIA, or have a certificate of “No EIA required”,
no EIA report is required. For the second case (installation with certificate of “No EIA required”), the
operator will have to provide the certificate of “No EIA required”.
During the assessment of the permit application the IEP Competent Authority will work together with
the EIA Competent Authority to guarantee the compatibility of the contents of the EIA and the IEP
(red circles in the figure).
The IEP cannot be issued before the EIA final decision. If the EIA final decision is negative, the IEP
procedure stops and the IEP cannot be issued.
Regarding public participation, the procedures for the EIA and for the IEP are independent, with the
EIA public participation procedure coming in the first place, and afterwards taking place the IEP
public participation procedure. In the case of the IEP there is no public consultation meeting.

HOW TO COORDINATE THE CONTENTS OF THE EIA FINAL DECISION AND THE
IEP:
PRELIMINARY GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The EIA procedure must be, at least partially (specially in its last steps), coordinated and forming part
of the IEP procedure, and the EIA final decision should be included as an Annex to the contents of the
IEP.
First of all, in order to guarantee a coherence between the information demands related to the EIA
and the IEP procedures, the only way to achieve that goal is that all reports (EIA-related and IEPrelated) are requested by and received through the same “window”, and the staff working in that
“window” should keep track of the different reporting requests and information received, in order to
avoid duplicities. An agreement should be reached between the EIA and environmental permitting
authorities regarding who will be responsible of that “window” (in EU countries it is usually the
environmental permitting authority).
The conditions set out in the EIA final decision should not be a function of change of technologies (as
opposed to an IEP, where ELVs must be a function of available technologies, and the permit must be
renewed in response to the emergence of new technologies). BATs should not be analyzed during
the EIA procedure.
To avoid conflicts between the contents of the IEP and the EIA final decision, the EIA procedure
should focus in the aspects related to the construction phase, and to the dismantling phase of the
installation, while the environmental protection requirements during the stage of operation should
be addressed by the IEP, which will also impose requirements to ensure an appropriate soil status
after the dismantling. By doing this, in case that the installation undergoes any modification related
to its technological processes and operation, there will be need only to modify the IEP, while the EIA
can remain unchanged.
During the IEP procedure, there is a stage where the team in charge of coordinating the preparation
of the IEP has to make a global assessment of draft EIA Decision + sector reports in order to prepare
the draft IEP. If at this stage it is detected that there is a conflict between the conditions stated in the
draft EIA Decision and the ones which should be included in the IEP, a meeting should be held
between EIA and IEP experts to solve the incompatibilities, and if no agreement is reached, the
General Director for EIA, permits & inspections should take a final decision based on the opinions of
both groups of experts.
Nevertheless, if the Competent Authority considers that the EIA final decision has to include some
requirements for the installation’s operational stage to ensure the fulfillment of some environmental
quality standards, then the EIA final decision should state in the corresponding sections that “the
emission limit values or conditions imposed must be considered as “minimum requirements”, and
the emissions of the installation will have, in any case, to respect the emission limit values
established in the IEP”.
SPECIFIC ASPECTS WHERE COORDINATION EIA-IEP HAS TO BE ENSURED:
In order to avoid conflicts between the contents of the EIA Decision and the IEP, at least the
following aspects must be taken into account by both the EIA and IEP experts, and they should be
addressed in the meeting between them within the stage of the global assessment of draft EIA
Decision + sector reports:
1. Preliminary situation for new installation.
2. Operation conditions (including Emission Limit Values (ELVs)).
3. Planning of the environmental monitoring operations and inspections
These topics are discussed in detail below.
1.- PRELIMINARY SITUATION.
For new installation (as in our case under study):
This “environmental starting status” can be fixed by the EIA experts in their report through the
imposition of different studies and measurements, in order to know the initial status of the area
where the installation is proposed to be built and the impact that such construction would have. It is
also possible that the EIA department has its own previous studies of that area.
This kind of studies are usually carried out in order to make the modelling. Before the construction
stage, these studies are elaborated in order to allow a detailed knowledge of the installation’s future
impacts. Independently of the origin of such studies (the different departments or the operator),
their results allow knowing the area vulnerability.
These studies are very important in order to establish the admissible impacts of the facilities. A
careful analysis is needed and it is highly recommendable a coordinated work between the EIA and
IEP Competent Authorities. This part of the report should be analyzed by both departments during
the suggested meeting.
(Obviously, if as a result of these studies, the EIA experts think that the facility will obtain a negative
EIA Decision, they must notify that as soon as possible to the IEP experts).
That will allow that the same conditions are taken under consideration when issuing IEP and EIA.
It can often happen that the EIA experst include operation and constructive conditions in its own
assessment. This, in practice, causes problems in the coordination of the permit because, as
mentioned before, it can imply difficulties in the establishment and updating of permit conditions
ensuring compliance with BAT AELs, which is a basic goal of the draft By-Law on IEP (derived from the
Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU).
It is important that the EIA Decision does not include constructive or operation conditions neither
ELVs, avoiding to invade the scope of the IEP. In this sense, the EIA Decision must always be written
including a mention as “In addition, the operator will have in any case to fulfill the conditions that
shall be imposed in the IEP”.
The goal of the EIA procedure consists in evaluating the feasibility of the facility. Therefore, in case it
includes ELVs they must be a “minimum” level of protection that, afterwards, the IEP may make
more stringent in order to fulfill the compulsory BAT AELs.
Additionally, It is necessary to remind that those BATAELs are based, not only on the basis of
environment protection, but also to guarantee a common level playing field among different facilities
of a given sector within the countries affected by the IED.
3.-PLANNING OF THE MONITORING OPERATIONS AND INSPECTIONS.
An important feature of the permit, apart from the ELVs, is the Monitoring and Inspection Plan.
The following aspects are an essential part of the integrated permit:
-
Scope of measurements.
Periodicity of measurements.
Internal and external monitoring actions (carried out by the owner, by the competent
authorities or by external authorised control organisms or companies)
Monitoring (if it is necessary) scope and type of analysers and monitoring equipment.
Notifications to the competent authority. (Malfunction detections, emissions that exceed
any limit, etc.)
The IEP experts, in the global assessment stage, will include all the monitoring requirements
(including the ones stated in the EIA Decision), avoiding redundant demands, ensuring an efficient
global monitoring and, during the planned and suggested meeting with the EIA authority, the
possible disagreements should be considerably reduced.
The final decision, if some disagreement persists, should be under the responsibility of a high level
manager above both groups of experts (EIA & IEP).

Introductory note
This introductory note does not form a part of the permit
The main features of the installation are as follows.
The Humber Refinery is located at South Killingholme in North Lincolnshire and is operated by
ConocoPhillips Ltd. The refinery primarily processes sweet crudes for the production of fuels and
petroleum coke.
The main environmental releases from the site to air are Sulphur Dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen,
Particulate Matter and Volatile Organic Compounds. Conditions within the permit have been set to
ensure the permitted operation can comply with environmental standards relating to local receptors.
Releases to water are minimised by the use of a three stage effluent treatment plant, and by
recycling this effluent as a raw water feed to an adjacent combined heat and power station.
