Regulation Updates for Process Operators


This conference is ideal for process operators, specifiers, contractors, regulators, researchers and equipment suppliers who have a requirement to understand the latest environmental regulations, technologies and methods.


SESSION 1 10:00 - 10:30 TITLE & SYNOPSIS


Operator Monitoring Assessment Version 4 - How effective has it been? - Rick Gould, Environment Agency The Environment Agency revised its Operator Monitoring Assessment (OMA) tool for auditing in early 2012 and has since been applying this to installations regulated under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) 2010. OMA Version 4 was a major revision and the Environment Agency aligned it to the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach typified within the management systems that operators are now required to use. Therefore this training presentation describes the experiences of operators and the Environment Agency with this new version of OMA, and what the Environment Agency plans for the future?


2 11:00 - 11:30


Progress within Europe on CEN standards for instrument certification - Andrew Chappell Environment Agency The presentation will provide an update on the development of 3 CEN standards for assessment of water quality monitoring equipment, including : Auto-samplers; continuous monitors and portable monitors. These standards are based on the MCERTS documents and Andrew will also mention the effect these standards will have on the MCERTS procedures.There is a similar project looking at CEN standards for flow monitoring devices and there will be an update on the progress.


The importance of testing & certification for environmental monitoring - Emily Alexander, CSA-SIRA 3 12:00 - 12:30


CSA-Sira has over 40 years experience of evaluating the performance of instrumentation. Despite improvements in instrumentation technology, schemes such as MCERTS have highlighted to Sira that not all instrument performance has improved at the same rate.Independent approval of specifications made by instrument manufacturers is still required, and will be demonstrated by case studies and examples during the presentation.


LUNCH Instrument testing for MCERTS and other purposes - Andy Godley WRC 4 14:00 - 14:30


Andy Godley from WRc will describe the process for instrument testing under MCERTS from the agreement of the test programme to delivery of the report. The certification of products against the MCERTS standards is a reasonably flexible process of building up the evidence to show that the device meets all the pertinent requirements. WRc has tested many devices against the various parts of the standard - automatic wastewater samplers, analytical equipment and flowmeters of various types, both in the laboratory and in the field. They also carry out much other testing for the water industry and other customers, either in specific applications or to assess devices against specific customer requirements. Similar principles apply in both cases - i.e. the need to get good quality, representative results - and WRc’s test programmes are well regarded and accepted as being robust and independent.


5 15:00 - 15:30


The good the bad and ugly of flow monitoring- Experience from the MCERTS flow inspection scheme - Nick Richardson, Siris Environmental Over the past 10 years thousands of sites both municipal and industrial have had Mcerts inspections. Some sites have sailed through the certification process while others have pre- sented some challenges to the Mcerts inspector and there are a few where divine intervention would have been welcomed. The presentation seeks to highlight good points and bad from an inspectors perspective.
