Is your diesel generator compliant?


Paul Moore, Managing Director at Dieselec Thistle Generators; and Jonathan Rodgers, Director and Consultant at NOxProtekt consider the ramifications of true compliance.


Generators, is partnering with the emissions control company, NOxProtekt. Together they will tackle the challenges operators are facing in relation to the new Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD) and updates to the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) implemented on 30th January 2017. Industrial activities play an

important role in the economic well-being of Europe contributing to sustainable growth, but can also have a significant impact on the environment. The largest industrial


installations account for a considerable share of total emissions of key atmospheric pollutants and also have other

Permitting Regulations (EPR). The MCPD is a good example of better regulation. It regulates pollutant emissions from the combustion of fuels in plants with a rated thermal input equal to or greater than 1 megawatt (MWth) and less than 50 MWth, and has been designed to be affordable for SMEs, and provides long-term certainty for all economic operators concerned whilst minimising the administrative burden for both industry and


Member States. In addition, beyond being environmentally efficient, the MCPD will encourage continued innova- tion and help EU industry gain shares of the rapidly-growing global market of pollution control technology. It regulates emissions of


SO2, NOx and dust into the air with the aim of reducing those emissions and the risks to human health and the environ- ment they may cause. It also lays down rules to monitor
