Dear Chief Executive Officer,
RE: Application for Works Approval – Cockburn Cement Munster Odour Neutralising Trial
1. INTRODUCTION Cockburn Cement Limited (CCL) proposes to trial a non-hazardous neutralising product, Aireactor OWD™ from CoolMist Systems Australia Pty Ltd, to be injected into the stack exhaust gases of Kilns 5 and 6 at Lot 242, Russell Road East, Munster, to reduce the potential odour impact at ground level.
Aireactor OWD has been certified and authorised internationally by both environmental and health agencies and proven to be harmless with the total absence of toxicity for man, animals and plants, as well as having rapid biodegradability properties. Thus, its introduction into the stack exhaust gases has insignificant impact on the waste emissions profile.
This document has been prepared to support the formal Works Approval Application for submission to the Department of Water and Environment Regulation (DWER).
CCL Munster operates under EP L4533/1967/15 for Prescribed Premises Category 43 – Cement or lime manufacturing.

3.1 Description/overview:
It is proposed to trial the injection of neutralising agent Aireactor OWD into the exhaust stacks of quicklime kilns 5 and 6, to determine if there is a reduction in olphactometric measurement and if so, to determine the optimum addition rate.
Aireactor OWD is required to be mixed with water and introduced to the stack gasses through a spray system, ensuring the neutraliser solution is well distributed and mixed with the stack gasses.
Trial Protocol
CCL seek three distinct trial periods to evaluate the effectiveness of the Aireactor OWD.
1. Stage 1: This initial trial period would be up to 96 hours, from the start to the end of trial. Running day shift only (maximum 48 hours operation). The aim being to commission the injection system and trial the different addition rates as detailed in tables 1 and 2. When each addition rate is stabilised, samples would be taken of the stack gasses and odour concentration determined by olphactometric testing and compared to baseline conditions. This would then determine the optimum addition rate for each kiln.

2. Stage 2: This secondary trial period would run over a 48-hour period, again day shift only (maximum 24 hours of operation). The aim of this trial being to run at the optimum addition rate determined in stage 1 of the trial, then conduct stack emission testing, as per operating licence (L4533/1967/15), condition 37, bi-annual requirements. Results from stack emission testing would be compared to past results and a report prepared for discussion with DWER, before progressing to trial 3.
3. Stage 3: This stage of the trial would be an extended continuous use of Aireactor OWD at the optimum addition rates. Methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the odour neutraliser by prior agreement with DWER before commencement of the continuous use trial. It is proposed it would be in accordance with DWER’s Draft Odour Guideline for Prescribed Premises concentrating on field odour surveys and the German standard, VDI 3940 “Measurement of odour impact by field inspection – Measurement of the impact frequency of recognisable odours Parts 1 and 2” (2006), with methodology prepared by field expert consultants.
3.2 Estimated operating period of Premises (for example, based on estimated infrastructure life):
The overall period for this trial is estimated at 6 months, split as approximately 150 hours for stages 1 and 2 of trial and the stage 3 of continuous use of neutraliser agent to extend over Spring / Summer 2018/2019 where the weather conditions would enable field monitoring of the trial effectiveness. Periodically throughout stage 3 of the trial, assessment of its effectiveness will be evaluated in consultation with DWER to determine integration into existing EP Licence.
3.3 Proposed date/s for commencement of works (if applicable): Stages 1 and 2 of trial would commence as soon as approval is granted.

In 2015, the NSW EPA investigated Morgan Cement International Pty Ltd (MCI), a related body corporate of Cockburn Cement Limited, concerning the unexpected overflow of ground granulated blast furnace slag from a storage silo at MCI’s premises at Port Kembla, NSW, on Saturday 14 March 2015. The NSW EPA determined to commence prosecution proceedings in the Land and Environment Court of New South Wales regarding the incident. It alleged that MCI committed an offence against section 64(1) of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (NSW) in that MCI breached a condition of its environmental protection licence by failing to maintain a certain item of plant in a proper and efficient condition. MCI pleaded guilty to the alleged offence.
On 2 November 2016, the Court delivered judgement convicting MCI of the offence as charged, fining MCI $50,250 and ordering MCI to pay the NSW EPA’s agreed legal and investigation costs of $55,492.50. MCI was also ordered to publish a notice regarding its conviction in specified newspapers and an industry publication.
In March 2016 – the EPA SA investigated an emission from the ship loading boom at Cockburn Cement Ltd’s related body corporate Adelaide Brighton Cement Ltd’s (ABC) Birkenhead plant in South Australia. ABC co-operated with the EPA SA’s investigation. Upon receiving an invitation from the SA EPA to do so, ABC agreed on a Civil Penalty of $34,870.50 under the applicable process, which does not result in any conviction or finding of guilt.

9.4 Proposed Licence Fee
Detailed licence fee calculations
Part 1 Premises component (see Part 1 of Schedule 4 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987) The production or design capacity should be the maximum capacity of the Premises. For most categories the production or design capacity refers to an annual rate. The figure should be based on 24 hour operation for 365 days, unless there is another regulatory approval or technical reason that restricts operation. The Premises component fee applies to the category incurring the highest fee unit number in accordance with regulation 5D(2) of the EP Regulations. Insert additional rows as required.
Category Production or design capacity Fee units
Sub total $
Part 2 Waste (see Part 2 of Schedule 4 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987) If your Premises includes one or more of the following categories specify any applicable Part 2 waste amounts. Do not include Part 3 waste components of these discharges in the below sections. Categories: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 44, 46, 53, 54A, 70, 80 or 85B Part 2 waste means waste consisting of –
(a) tailings; or (b) bitterns; or (c) water to allow mining of ore; or (d) flyash; or (e) waste water from a desalination plant.
If your Premises does not fall into one of the categories listed above, or there are no applicable Part 2 waste amounts, the sub total for this section will be $0. Insert additional rows as required.
Discharge quantity (tonnes/year) Fee units
Sub total $
Part 3 Waste - Discharges to air, onto land, into waters (see Part 3 of Schedule 4 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987) Choose the appropriate location of the discharge and enter the discharge amount(s) in the units specified in the EP Regulations. This should be the amount of waste expected to be discharged over the next 12 months, expressed in the units and averaging period applicable for that waste kind (for example, g/minute or kg/day). Amounts can be measured, calculated, or estimated and can be based on data acquired over the previous 12 months, but should be based on the maximum Premises capacity and not the forecast operating hours. Where there are discharges, all prescribed waste types must be considered in the fee calculation. If a specified waste type is not present in the discharge, this must be justified using an appropriate emission estimation technique (for example, sampling data, industry sector guidance notes, National Pollution Inventory guides and emission factors).

(Tick to acknowledge)
9.6 Works Approval or Licence Amendment Fee
Proposed Works Approval and Licence Amendment fee (see Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987 (the Regulations)) The fee prescribed for an application for an amendment to a Works Approval or Licence is based on a unit value for 2016–2017 of $3.40 per unit, calculated (in accordance with regulation 5BB of the Regulations): for a single category of Prescribed Premises to which the Works Approval or Licence relates, by using the fee
unit number corresponding to the Prescribed Premises category and relevant production or design capacity threshold in Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Regulations.
for multiple categories of Prescribed Premises to which the Works Approval or Licence relates, by using the highest fee unit number corresponding to the Prescribed Premises categories and production design or capacity threshold in Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Regulations.
The relevant fee unit under Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Regulations for calculating the application form amendment fee is to be determined by reference to the actual production or design capacity reported for the preceding year’s annual licence fee. If an annual licence fee has not previously been paid or is not applicable as is the case for works approvals, the fee unit for an application for amendment is to be determined by reference to the production or design capacity currently prescribed in the Licence or Works Approval.

9.7 Prescribed Fee for Clearing Permit
In accordance with the Guidance Statement: Decision Making , where a concurrent application for clearing of native vegetation is made, DWER may elect to either jointly or separately determine the clearing component of the application. Where DWER separately determines the clearing component of a concurrent application, the application will be deemed to be an application for a clearing permit under section 51E of the EP Act and the CEO will waive the payment of the fee prescribed for an application for clearing permit. Note: If a clearing permit application has been separately submitted and accepted by DWER, a refund for the clearing permit application will not be provided where DWER determines to address clearing requirements as part of a related works approval application.

Proposed Activities
Introduction Cockburn Cement Limited (CCL) is located at the northern end of the Kwinana Industrial Area with the nearest residential property approximately 700m from the plant operations. As the residential development has increased in the surrounding area of the CCL premises, odour complaints have been recorded, some substantiated as a result of the Munster Operations and others unsubstantiated with a potential source other than the CCL Munster Operations.
CCL has invested considerable time and effort into trying to determine the point source emission profile and compounds responsible for the odour that may be emitted from the lime kilns. To date there has been no conclusive determination of what causes the potential odour sometimes attributed to the lime kilns, and consequently how to control this emission.
CCL propose to trial a non-hazardous neutralising product, Aireactor OWD ™1 from CoolMist Systems Australia Pty Ltd, which is injected into the stack exhaust gasses to reduce the potential odour impact at ground level.
This summary paper details past experience and relevant information for the proposed trial use of Aireactor OWD.
Past Experience The proposed trial is based on low injection rates of Aireactor OWD which is classified as non-hazardous, with no changes to the risk profile of the emissions.
Cockburn Cement has undertaken independent laboratory analysis by NATA accredited Australian Chemical Laboratories which confirmed the manufacturer’s claims of the Aireactor OWD being non hazardous, non toxic to human health and the environment.
Aireactor OWD has been used throughout Europe in similar applications as CCL with good results. Colacem Spa is a leading Italian cement company that have used Aireactor OWD to achieve a 50% reduction in odour concentration expressed as odour units per cubic metre from the clinker kiln stacks (refer to Figure 1 below).
Cockburn Cement proposes to use the Aireactor OWD in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and experiences. The Aireactor OWD is to be diluted with potable water only and not mixed with any other chemical prior to injection. The Aireactor OWD will be contained in a purpose built bunded area, ensuring safe handling and containment to prevent release to the environment resulting from an incident.
Aireactor OWD is classified as non-hazardous, and is considered to be a neutraliser as opposed to a deodorant, or masking agent which replaces one odour with another odour which is perceived as less offensive.

The Aireactor OWD is introduced to the kiln stacks, post pollution control equipment, via a 1000L storage IBC, isolation valve, flow control valve, pump and spray nozzle bar (for example refer Photo 1 and Photo 2). This system has been tested at Colacem Spa in Italy.

Certification and Authorisation The developer of OWD, Aireactor Inc., and the distributors, Labiotest, Technical data sheets (TDS) and material safety data sheets (MSDS) are presented in Appendix A to D. The following information has been supplied by CoolMist Systems Australia Pty Ltd, from Labiotest, the European distribution agent for Aireactor OWD:
Aireactor OWD has been certified and authorised by the following global organisations:
▪ U.S.E.P.A. (United States Environmental Protection Agency)
▪ U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USA)
▪ Dipartimento Di Chimica Industriale Del Politecnico Di Milano (Department of Industrial Chemistry at the Polytechnical Institute of Milan) (Italy)
▪ Ministero Della Salute (Ministry of Health) (Italy)
▪ Istituto Superiore per la Prevenzione e la Sicurezza del Lavoro (Institute for Occupational Safety) (Italy)
▪ C.N.R Reparto idrobiologia applicata (Department of applied hydrobiology of the National Research Council) (Italy)
▪ Dipartimento Medicina Del Lavoro – Milano (Department of work Medicine – Milan) (Italy)
Details of proposal It is proposed to trial the injection of Aireactor OWD into the exhaust stacks of quicklime Kilns 5 and 6, to determine if there is a reduction in olphactometric measurement and if so, to determine the optimum addition rate.
Aireactor OWD is supplied undiluted as this is the most economical way to transport it. Aireactor OWD is required to be mixed with water and introduced to the stack gasses through a spray system, ensuring the neutraliser solution is well distributed and mixed with the stack gasses.
Table 1 and Table 2 below detail the proposed addition rates of Aireactor OWD to be trialled in the stacks of quicklime Kilns 5 and 6. It is proposed to maintain a consistent injection rate of 10L/minute whilst varying the concentration of Aireactor OWD.
Aireactor OWD will be introduced to stack gases within Kilns 5 and 6 as a diluted solution, as such the conditions leading thermal decomposition of the product will not be triggered due to the extremely high dilution ratio as shown below.
Olphactometric sampling and analysis in Stage 1 will be used. Changes to the odour profile will be analysed before proceeding to Stage 2.

Mechanism of Aireactor OWD The following information has been supplied by CoolMist Systems Australia Pty Ltd, from Labiotest, the European distribution agent for Aireactor OWD:
▪ The mechanism by which Aireactor OWD operates is referred to as osmogenic barrier technology. As detailed below, Aireactor OWD is not a deodorant, replacing one odour with another, but a neutraliser, encapsulating and blocking malodorous compounds so they are not able to be detected.
▪ An osmogenic barrier is made by injecting in the stack gasses mists made of microscopic water drops, each one of which contains billions of micelles. During mixing in the stack gasses, the micro-drops and micelles inside them intercept the malodorous molecules, firmly blocking them, thus neutralizing the functionalities that make them osmogenically active. This action removes malodourous molecules quickly and inoffensively from the natural environment and stack gasses.
▪ The desired characteristics for using anti-odorous products in osmogenic barriers are: harmlessness and the total absence of toxicity for man, animals and plants, as well as rapid biodegradability. The maximum neutralising action will occur under conditions in which micronisation generates the maximum possible number of micelles. This can be ensured by using an adequate spraying system operating a high pressure, creating small size mist.

Trial Protocol CCL seek three distinct trial periods to evaluate the effectiveness of the Aireactor OWD. The trial stages, proposed duration and sought outcomes of each stage are presented in tabular form below.
Table 3: Trial Protocol
Trial Stage
Description Duration Outcome Sought
Stage 1
This initial trial period would be up to 96 hours, from the start to the end of trials, running day shift only (maximum 48 hours operation). The aim being to commission the injection system and trial the different addition rates as detailed in tables 1 and 2. When each addition rate is stabilised, samples would be taken of the stack gasses and odour concentration determined by olphactometric testing and compared to baseline conditions. This would then determine the optimum addition rate for each kiln.
48 hours
Commissioning of injection system.
Carry out olphactometric
testing for comparison to baseline conditions for assessment of trial
effectiveness.
Stage 2
The secondary trial period would run over a 48 hour period, again day shift only (maximum 24 hours of operation). The aim of this trial being to run at the optimum addition rate determined in the initial trial, then conduct stack emission testing, as per operating licence (L4533/1967/15), condition 37, bi-annual requirements. Results from stack emission testing would be compared to past results and a report prepared for discussion with DWER, before progressing to trial 3.
48 hours
Carry out stack testing in accordance with
biannual requirements of L4533/1967/15 for
comparison to historical data sets.
Stage 3
The third trial would be an extended continuous use of Aireactor OWD at the optimum addition rates. Methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the odour neutraliser can be discussed and agreed with the DWER before beginning the continuous use trial. It is proposed it would include a combination of evaluation of community complaints and field odour surveys used in determining the effectiveness of reducing odour impact at ground level.
3 – 6 months
Field measurements and evaluation of trial
effectiveness in the neutralisation of odour
emissions.

Trial Verification Method As part of this Trial, an Invitation to Tender will be extended to a shortlisted number of technical experts in the odour and air quality assessment fields with the aim to have a scientifically robust methodology developed for the verification of odour neutralisation efficiency.
DWER Odour Guideline for Prescribed Premises (Draft)
The verification method will be developed in accordance with the DWER recently released for consultation – Odour Guideline for Prescribed Premises (Draft) which focuses on important dimensions of odour nuisance as being characterised by the FIDOL acronym:
1. Frequency of odour impacts
2. Intensity (or strength) of the odour
3. Duration of the exposure events
4. Offensiveness of the odour
5. Location of the impacts (the sensitivity of the receiving environment)
1. Screen Analysis Based on the DWER’s Odour Guideline for Prescribed Premises (Draft) – Appendix 1 – Screen Analysis, as a comparison of the sensitive receptor distance (700m from the Stack Exhausts to the nearest residential dwelling) with the screening distance nominated for Category 43 Cement or lime manufacturing (2,000m) a detailed analysis of the odour emissions is required.
2. Detailed Analysis It is DWER’s expectation that multiple tools from the
Table 4 below as extracted from Odour Guideline (Draft) will be included as part of a detailed analysis, including the use of site-specific data where possible.
The Odour Guideline identifies the followings steps as necessary for a detail analysis:
1. Undertake a mandatory Operational Odour Analysis (OOA) and location review as detailed in Appendix 3 of Odour Guideline (Draft).
2. Undertake further analysis using selected tools from Table 1 of Odour Guideline (Draft) as required.
3. Compile additional information required to support the detailed analysis.
3. Reporting Requirements In accordance with DWER’s Odour Guidelines the reporting requirements for the verification of the trial, based on a detailed analysis are as follows:
The detailed analysis deliverables comprise:
1. A detailed analysis summary report table (template provided in Appendix 4 of Odour Guideline).
2. Conclusion from the screening and detailed analyses.

Mechanism of Aireactor OWD
The following information has been supplied by CoolMist Systems Australia Pty Ltd, from Labiotest, the European distribution agent for Aireactor OWD:
▪ The mechanism by which Aireactor OWD operates is referred to as osmogenic barrier technology. As detailed below, Aireactor OWD is not a deodorant, replacing one odour with another, but a neutraliser, encapsulating and blocking malodorous compounds so they are not able to be detected.
▪ An osmogenic barrier is made by injecting in the stack gasses mists made of microscopic water drops, each one of which contains billions of micelles. During mixing in the stack gasses, the micro-drops and micelles inside them intercept the malodorous molecules, firmly blocking them, thus neutralizing the functionalities that make them osmogenically active. This action removes malodourous molecules quickly and inoffensively from the natural environment and stack gasses.
▪ The desired characteristics for using anti-odorous products in osmogenic barriers are: harmlessness and the total absence of toxicity for man, animals and plants, as well as rapid biodegradability. The maximum neutralising action will occur under conditions in which micronisation generates the maximum possible number of micelles. This can be ensured by using an adequate spraying system operating a high pressure, creating small size mist.
