1.

Plants for the manufacture of titanium dioxide according to the sulphate and chloride process,

2.

Plants for the manufacture of waste acids in a factory-like way.

§ 2 Definitions

For the purposes of this Regulation:

1.

Exhaust gases: the carrier gases with solid, liquid or gaseous emissions;

2.

Emissions: air pollution from installations; they are indicated as mass concentrations in the unit milligrams per cubic metre, based on the undiluted exhaust volume in the standard condition (273.15 Kelvin, 1 013 hectopascals) after the withdrawal of the Moisture content of water vapor, or as a mass ratio in unit kilogram per ton of product.

§ 3 Plants according to the sulphate procedure

(1) The emissions of dust must not exceed an emission limit value of 30 milligrams per cubic metre, based on 20 per cent atmospheric oxygen, as a daily average for installations according to the sulphate process. (2) The information in the information and Calcination phase emissions of sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide, including sulphuric acid droplets, expressed as sulphur dioxide, shall be subject to an emission limit value of half a gram per cubic metre as the daily average value and the emissions of sulphur dioxide, including sulphur dioxide, Mass ratio of 4 kilograms per tonne of titanium dioxide produced as the annual mean value of the shall not exceed the whole installation. The installations shall be equipped with equipment to prevent the emission of sulphuric acid droplets. (3) The emissions of sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide, expressed as sulphur dioxide, in the concentration of waste acids shall be permitted. shall not exceed an emission limit value of one quarter of a gram per cubic metre as the daily average.

§ 4 Annexes according to the chloride procedure

(1) Emissions from dust shall not exceed an emission limit value of 30 milligrams per cubic metre in relation to 20 per cent atmospheric oxygen per cubic metre in the case of installations according to the chloride procedure. (2) The emissions of chlorine shall be allowed to: Emission limit value of 3 milligrams per cubic meter as daily mean value does not exceed. Unofficial table of contents

§ 5 Procedure for measurement and monitoring

(1) In addition to the requirements of the First General Administrative Regulation on the Federal Immission Control Act (Technical Guidance on the Clean Air-TA Luft) of 24 July 2002 (GMBl p. 511), the operator has emissions into the air of gaseous sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide, measured as sulphur dioxide, continuously monitored:

1.

from installations for digestion and calcination; or

2.

Plants which use the sulphate process in the concentration of waste acids.

(2) The operator of installations shall continuously monitor the emissions of dust or chlorine into the air at relevant sources. The continuous monitoring of chlorine in accordance with the first sentence shall be carried out six months after notification of a suitable measuring device. Unofficial table of contents

§ 6 Other or more stringent requirements

Other or more stringent requirements, which arise in particular from obligations pursuant to Section 5 (1) (2) to (4) of the Federal Immission Control Act and the Technical Instructions on Air Purpose, shall remain unaffected. Unofficial table of contents

1.

shall exceed the emission limit value referred to in paragraph 3 (1), (2), first sentence, or (3) or (4) (1) or (2),

2.

shall exceed the mass ratio referred to in paragraph 3 (2) sentence 1, or
