190. A sulphuric acid plant used to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions from a zinc production plant must not emit into the atmosphere

(1)  more than 25 kg of sulphur dioxide per ton of sulphuric acid calculated at 100% on a monthly basis in the case of a plant established, put into operation or the construction of which commenced on or before 14 November 1979, or not more than 5 kg of sulphur dioxide per ton of sulphuric acid calculated at 100% in the case of a plant established, put into operation or built after that date.

If the operator of a zinc production plant uses more than one sulphuric acid plant to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions from the zinc production plant and all the sulphuric acid plants were established, put into operation or the construction of which commenced on or before 14 November 1979, the total sulphur dioxide emitted for all the sulphuric acid plants combined must not exceed 20 kg per ton of sulphuric acid, calculated at 100%, on the basis of the weighted average of the total production of the plants; and

(2)  more than 0.5 kg of sulphuric acid, including sulphur trioxide, per ton of sulphuric acid calculated at 100%, in the case of a plant established, put into operation or the construction of which commenced on or before 14 November 1979, or more than 0.075 kg of sulphuric acid per ton of sulphuric acid calculated at 100% in the case of a plant established, put into operation or the construction of which commenced after that date.

(2)  more than 0.5 kg of sulphuric acid, including sulphur trioxide, per ton of acid calculated at 100%, in the case of a plant established, put into operation or the construction of which commenced on or before 14 November 1979, or more than 0.075 kg of sulphuric acid per ton of acid calculated to 100% in the case of a plant established, put into operation or the construction of which commenced after that date.
