<strong>PKN</strong> ORLEN activities and their impact on the climate and environment<br />

In 2010, we reported a minor increase in pollutant emission<br />

compared to 2009. Higher emission of SO 2<br />

, NOx<br />

and particulate matter was generated mainly by the emitters<br />

of the CHP. Increased emission of gas pollutants<br />

was due to intensified operation of the CHP processes<br />

caused by periods of extreme weather conditions in winter<br />

months as well as the fuel structure. Increased emission<br />

of particulate matter was mainly due to a higher ash<br />

content in the combusted fuel.<br />

The growth in carbon monoxide was generated by the Hydrogen<br />

Sulphide Disposal unit, which was primarily due<br />

to a higher demand for hydrogen sulphide gases. Another<br />

reason was the intensified operation of post-combustion<br />

furnaces at the Hydrosulfreen unit and changing the composition<br />

of post-combusted chimney gas and fuel gas.<br />

Despite the increase, emissions remained within the limits<br />

established in the integrated permit.<br />

Pollutant emission measurements<br />

Ongoing measurements:<br />

• conducted at 3 emitters at the CHP;<br />

• measurements concerned emission of: SO 2<br />

, NOx<br />

(NO 2<br />

), particulates.<br />

Periodic measurements:<br />

• in 2010, pollutant emission was measured 84 times<br />

at the emitters of the <strong>PKN</strong> ORLEN Production Plant<br />

in Płock, 62 of which were mandatory measurements.<br />

The results were submitted to the Regional Environmental<br />

Protection Inspectorate and to the Marshal’s<br />

Office of Mazowieckie Voivodeship;<br />

• emission measurements were carried out at emitters<br />

covered by the integrated permit twice during<br />

the year, once in each half-year;<br />

• the scope of periodic emission measurements covered<br />

(depending on the emitter) the following pollutants:<br />

SO 2<br />

, NO 2<br />

, NOx (NO 2<br />

) CO, particulates, H 2<br />

S, aliphatic<br />

hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons: benzene, toluene,<br />

xylene, cumene.<br />

Emission measurements around the Production Plant<br />

in Płock<br />

On 1 January 2010, the air monitoring system applied<br />

at <strong>PKN</strong> ORLEN was reorganised. Following consultations<br />

with the Regional Environmental Protection Inspection<br />

in Warsaw, emission measurements at the Maszewo<br />

and Trzepowo stations were discontinued. Currently,<br />

the corporate monitoring network includes only one<br />

station located outside the fenced premises of the Production<br />

Plant in Płock (at Junior High School no. 5).<br />
