Re: Question Help
Down to the discharge consent from the Sewage undertaker and the specification within the consent application of the quantity and concentration of mercury in the effluent (Water Indutry Act 1991). This is for discharge to the public sewer, if your process discharges effluent to a watercourse then it would fall under the Environmental Permitting Regs.
