Project:
INSTALLATION OF A NEW CRYOGENIC AND ACTIVATED CARBON ADSORPTION SYSTEM TO REDUCE ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS AT SITE 17C
As part of the review of the Integrated Environmental Authorisation (AIA) to bring it into line with the sector’s Best Available Techniques (BAT), ECORAV has embarked on a programme to upgrade the technology of its emission abatement systems.
During 2024, work began on the construction of two new emission abatement facilities: a newly designed cryogenic plant and a section dedicated to treatment using activated carbon. The introduction of these technologies has made it possible to reconfigure and optimise the previous purification plant layout, raising the overall standards of emission abatement and, consequently, environmental protection.
The construction phase for both facilities was completed in December 2025. Following the completion of the works, the commissioning of Chimney E02 in its final configuration began in February 2026.
This investment falls within the category of subsidised investments under the Transition Plan 5.0 and is classified under code 2.9, entitled ‘filters and systems for the treatment and recovery of water, air, oil, chemicals and dust, with systems for signalling filter efficiency and the presence of anomalies or substances foreign to the process or hazardous, integrated with the plant system and capable of alerting operators and/or halting the operation of machinery and plant”.
