4 5. TECHNOBURN INTRODUCTION Technoburn stores and distributes fuels for boilers such as Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Low Sulphur Oil (LSO), Light Oil 10 (LO10) and Paraffin, the company also collects and recycles used oils for conversion into fuel predominantly for the use in boilers. The company also repairs and services boiler firing equipment which includes test firing on the premises. Technoburn was formed in 1999 by the amalgamation of two smaller companies. The company has physically grown over the years and has premises of approximately 3500m 2 which incorporates a factory area of about 800m 2 and a store of over 200m 2, with the remainder made up of two tank farms, loading and unloading areas and yard areas. The oil storage facility has a capacity to store approximately 1 million liters of used oil and finished goods for fuels and the company operates a fleet of delivery trucks and tankers to deliver fuel to customers. Technoburn forms part of the Moai Group of companies which employ over 150 employee s country wide. The Moai Group consists of 5 other industry related companies catering to the energy industry. The site has above ground tanks for the storage of used oils, an engineering workshop, a testing and firing facility, as well as offices. The company is in the process of being certified to ISO and

5 6. TECHNOBURN FACILITY 6.1 FACILITY INFORMATION The Facility as shown in Figure 3 (Google Image) & Figure 4 (Site layout) is located at 9 Mymona Crescent, Athlone Industria, Cape Town. Figure 3: Technoburn Site in Athlone Industria Figure 4: Site layout

6 In terms of the operations that take place at the site, these include the following: Maintenance and servicing of equipment Test firing of burners Unloading and loading of road tankers Recovery, processing and recycling of used oil. Storage of hydrocarbons Distribution of fuels Office and administration activities The site is located in an industrial area and there are no environmentally sensitive areas adjacent to the site. 6.2 NEEDS ANALYSIS There are a variety of waste types generated at this site as can be seen in Table 1. Figure 5 presents the waste process flows and Tables 2 & 3 the associated waste generating activities and the approximate volumes. The majority of waste materials generated are recyclable. Note: it is important to ensure that the waste is separated into the different waste types in order to maximise cost savings and minimise environmental impact. Although the site generates waste water, it disposes of the water to a waste service provider (Fuel 44) and therefore does not discharge any waste water from the premises with the exception of domestic effluent which is discharged to sewer.

13 6.4 WASTE STORAGE Waste is stored in two primary locations (Figure 6) on the site; general waste for disposal via the City of Cape Town Municipal Solid Waste Services is placed in 220 litre containers on the west side of the site and the remainder including scrap metal and recyclable materials are placed in a combination of 6m 3 skips and 210 litre drums in front of the workshop in the centre of the site. Figure 6: Waste and Recycling Storage Areas The waste area is not covered and there is no protection from the weather. The area is not bunded, but storm water runoff passes through an interceptor system which will allow for the capture of floating particulate prior to the discharge from the site into the municipal storm water system. Inside the buildings, there are general waste, hazardous waste and recycling bins which are all clearly identified for the different waste types. Oily rags are collected in steel drums with self-closing lids. Used oil, hydraulic fluids and other fluids for recycling on site are transferred to the used oil tank farm which is located in a bunded area. 6.5 WASTE SERVICE PROVIDERS Fuel 44 - Waste water Rags4us Oily Rags

15 SECTION 2: Technoburn IWMP 7. INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 7.1 TARGETS AND OBJECTIVES Technoburn will set targets and objectives for waste reduction, prevention and recycling. This will be based on the production throughput of the plant and the activities that take place. The following targets and objectives have been set: All primary wastes and recycling will be separated at source 100% of office based paper, plastic, tins, glass and cardboard will be recycled 100% of scrap metal will be will be recycled 100% of waste oils will be recycled 100% of oily rags will be recycled 7.2 Waste planning Technoburn has provided the necessary facilities and infrastructure in order to safely, store, protect and remove waste generated on the site. All waste activities shall be in line with this Integrated Waste Management Plan. All waste service providers used shall be appropriately licensed and registered with the relevant authorities in accordance with relevant statutory requirements. All waste generated will be classified in terms of the requirements of the Waste Classification and Management Regulations of August 2013 and waste that is not excluded by these regulations and is scheduled for disposal to landfill will be assessed by a SANAS accredited laboratory for categorization. 7.3 Separation of waste All waste shall be separated into the appropriate categories, these shall be:

16 Recycling o Metals o Plastic o Glass o Paper o Cardboard o Wood o Oil and Oily Water o Oily Rags General Waste Hazardous waste o Batteries o Florescent light fittings o Miscellaneous hazardous waste o Waste water o Sludge E-waste All waste and recycling shall be separated into the various categories in the appropriate bins, skips and storage tanks by the various departments. These containers will be transferred to the main waste area where they will be placed into the appropriate skip or storage container. The status of the waste management including the total quantity of waste recycled and disposed of via the various waste streams shall be communicated to Management by means of a monthly report by a person appointed by management to manage the waste system. 7.4 Waste Collection and Storage A section of the site will be demarcated for the storage of waste containers. The area will be constructed in such a manner to prevent movement of contaminated surface runoff water out of the demarcated area. This area will also be secured and will have sufficient natural ventilation in order to prevent the build-up of offensive smells and odours. Refuse and waste bins will be placed at various points in the offices and administrative area s for general waste collection generated by the employees. These bins will be

17 monitored and emptied as and when necessary into the 220 litre wheelie bins for general waste in the municipal waste storage area. Recycling bins will be located at appropriate locations at the site in order to be as close to the origin of a specific recycling stream as possible. These containers will be differentiated from the general waste bins and will have appropriate signage in order to show the type of materials that it should be used for. A scrap metal skip will be provided in the central waste storage area and all scrap metal will be placed in it. Bins will be constructed with lids where required to prevent exposure to rainwater. All bins will be cleaned within a contained environment at regular intervals to prevent odours and attracting flies, the waste water generated from this will be disposed of via the waste water stream.. Cigarette butt bins will be installed in all smoking area s and these will be regularly monitored by cleaning staff and emptied when required into the skip for general waste in the municipal waste storage area. The waste holding containers (skips & specialised containers) shall be monitored by either the operations manager and/or the Environmental Officer. They will be removed and emptied as and when necessary by an appropriately certified and licenced waste service provider in order to prevent an excessive build-up of waste and of to prevent conditions favourable for inter alia fly breeding and offensive odours. Skips or appropriate specialised containers will be provided by service providers or Technoburn for the following waste categories and will be clearly identified: i. Recycling a. Glass b. Paper c. Cardboard d. Metal e. Plastic f. Rags ii. Hazardous Waste a. Batteries b. Florescent light fittings

18 c. General hazardous waste d. Sludge 7.5 Waste Reduction, Recovery and Recycling Various waste reduction methods shall be used at the facility in order to reduce the volume and the hazardous nature of wastes wherever possible and will include: Where possible all paint used will be lead free and will be solvent free or Low VOC (volatile organic compounds) Green cleaning products and materials will be used wherever possible Use of reusable pallets and containers wherever possible Recycling and reuse of materials as described in Table 4 Table 4: Recycling and reuse of materials Material Detail Cardboard Paper Glass Plastics Cardboard is an excellent candidate for recycling because it is easily separated from other materials. generator among materials in a waste stream. It is bulky, and is a consistent revenue Waste paper is generated by the office facilities. Office paper is usually collected in two grades: high-grade and mixed paper. High-grade paper typically consists of white copier paper, white computer paper, white office stationery, and white note paper. Mixed office paper includes all other paper generated in an office, including both white and colored paper, file folders, manila envelopes, etc. Newspapers and magazines may be collected separately, as they are a different type of fiber. Mixed paper is considered low quality and generally yields low market prices. The highest prices are paid for high-grade paper with little contamination. Glass is readily recyclable. Depending upon the vendor and the quantity of material, glass containers may have to be separated from other containers, or separated by colour. Non-bottle glass, such as window glass or light bulbs, should not be mixed in a bottle recycling program. The most easily recycled plastics are containers comprised of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) primarily and high density polyethylene (HDPE). PET bottles are marked number 1; HDPE bottles are marked number 2.

19 Metals Metal tins/cans and other scrap metals are readily recyclable. They can usually be mixed with aluminium because they are easily extracted from the recycling stream with magnets. Table 4: Recycling and reuse of materials (Cont.) Material Detail Used Oil Builders rubble or builders waste Oily rags Pallets Used oil is readily recyclable, this can be cleaned and processed into fuels for various appliances such as boilers, incinerators, etc. Construction, demolition, and/or renovation of a structure can produce an enormous amount of waste known as builder s rubble or builders waste. Much of this material can be reused or recycled. There are two types of waste created on a project site: (1) non-hazardous waste; (2) hazardous waste. It is important that all contractors are aware of all relevant regulations that impact the generation, storage, transport and disposal of hazardous waste items, such as lead-based paint, mercury, tires, and oil. Oily rags can be cleaned and returned for reuse Wooden pallets may be used for material transport. When an untreated wooden pallet can no longer be reused or repaired, it can be managed as any other clean wood waste. As long as it is not chemically treated wood, it can be ground up for use as landscape mulch, animal bedding, compost, soil amendment, boiler fuel or core material for particleboard. Pallet users can avoid end-of-life issues by opting to lease their pallets, using a pallet management company, or switching to reusable plastic pallets. Any treated wooden pallets should be segregated from untreated pallets. 7.6 Disposal of waste All waste for landfilling will be disposed of at the appropriate waste disposal sites including: Coastal Park Landfill Facility The Coastal Park Landfill Facility is permitted as a GLB + (General waste, large size and designed to accommodate the generation of leachate) site. The City of Cape Town Municipality are the owners and permit holders of the site. The site presently receives ± tons/yr and the life span is expected to extend to 2020/21.

20 Vissershok South Landfill Facility The Vissershok South Landfill Site is permitted as a hazardous H:h (Hazardous waste landfill that can receive wastes with a hazard rating of 3 and 4) site. The City of Cape Town Municipality are the owners and permit holders of the site and operate the site themselves. Vissershok Waste Management Facility The Visserhok Waste Management facility is the only high hazard waste site in the region (categorised as H:H which means it is a hazardous waste landfill that can receive wastes with a hazard rating of 1 and 2), consequently in the event of specialist disposal being required for high hazard waste such as flammable materials this site will be used. Fuel 44 Fuel 44 is an oil recycling and recovery company which temporary stores and recycles used oil, oily water and other hydrocarbon waste for the production of fuels for boilers. 7.7 Waste services and venders A variety of waste service providers will be utilised to remove waste and recycling from Technoburn. All providers will have the following requirements: To be appropriately licenced and registered with the various authorities. These being the local, provincial and national organs of state and the Integrated Pollution and Waste Information System (IPWIS). To supply certificates of safe disposal for hazardous waste and recycling removed from site. To provide chain of custody documentation of all non-hazardous waste and recycling removed from site All scrap metal recyclers to be registered in terms of the Second Hand Goods Act and Regulations. To be audited at a yearly frequency by Technoburn or an independent contractor appointed by the company.

All records will be maintained for 5 years and monitoring and measurement will follow the following parameters: Cost of Waste Management The cost of waste will be monitored by tracking the cost of disposing of the various wastes type. The parameters monitored will be total cost of all waste and recycling disposed of, the cost of each waste stream and the cost per kg for each waste stream. The savings resulting from all recycling, waste reduction and reuse programs will also be tracked in order to have an accurate return on investment analysis Waste Statistics

22 All waste and recycling will be tracked, this will be reported and will be captured into a waste log on a monthly basis and statistics will be reported as per the following: Recyclable metal weight of scrap metal sent for recycling Recyclable paper weight of paper sent for recycling Recyclable plastic weight of plastic sent for recycling Recyclable cardboard weight of cardboard sent for recycling General Waste - volume of waste sent for disposal Fluorescent Tubes & Ballasts Number of tubes and ballasts disposed off Dry Cell batteries - Number of batteries disposed off ewaste Number of Computers, printers, monitors, etc. disposed off Oily water - weight of oily water sent for disposal Sludge - weight of sludge sent for disposal Waste Water - weight of waste water sent for disposal Miscellaneous Hazardous waste - volume of waste sent for disposal Traceability All waste removed from the site will be traceable from its removal to its final disposal to a landfill, incineration, recycling, or any other type of final disposal facility. This traceability will be provided by unique numbering on a manifest, safe disposal certificates, etc Monitoring and inspection - Containers, tanks, valves and piping containing hazardous waste must be inspected for leaks, structural integrity and any sign of deterioration on a weekly basis. - A registered engineer must inspect tanks containing hazardous waste at least once per annum to check tank integrity, corrosion, piping, valves, bunding, and impermeably of the bund wall and bund floor. - The secondary containment system must be examined at least weekly or or after each significant precipitation event to ensure that the containment is free of debris, rainwater and other materials. - Ventilation systems, sump pumps, emergency alarms, level alarms and other mechanical systems must be inspected on a weekly basis. - Inspection must include the review of the adequacy and accessibility of spill repose equipment.

23 - Is pollution is suspected or is occurring an investigation must be initiated in the cause or suspected problem and remedial action taken Auditing and verification All waste service providers will be required to supply all relevant authorisations and licences to Technoburn. Annual audits will be conducted on all service providers in order to verify their systems and to ensure the Duty of Care requirements of Technoburn. These audits will be conducted by suitably trained and competent employees or suitably qualified and competent consultants. Technoburn will conduct internal audits biannually and an audit report shall be generated and an external audit annually. The internal audit report will be made available to the external auditor who will audit the facility in line with the relevant legislative requirements and the conditions of the Waste License. 7.9 Training & communication All employees will be trained and educated in relation to the waste management systems by management. Attendance registers will be kept relating to the training. All contractors will be expected to ensure all their employees are trained and comply with the requirements of the Waste Management Plan with the help of Inductions and Toolbox talks. Waste prevention and recycling activities will be discussed at management meetings to reinforce project goals and communicate progress to date Incidents and Emergencies An emergency management plan will be developed for the facility which will include the following in the event of a waste spill or an emergency relating to the waste management systems: The area will be cordoned off in order prevent access to unauthorised persons.

24 The spill or incident will be contained to prevent contamination entering storm water systems or any other area. The Operations Manager or appointed person will be notified in order to evaluate the situation and co-ordinate the clean-up and containment operation. All clean-up personal will wear appropriate protective equipment. The spilled waste will be placed in an appropriate container/s and the area cleaned with any contaminated surface runoff liquid contained and placed in an appropriate container. If required by statutory requirements the incident will be reported to the relevant authorities by the Environmental Officer as authorised by the CEO within 14 days as required by Section 30 of NEMA. The recovered spill and any consumable materials used to contain it will be disposed to an appropriately licensed waste disposal facility with chain of custody documentation provided as proof of end recipient An investigation will be conducted and the results of the investigation recorded. The results of the investigation and lessons learned will be communicated to all relevant personnel.
