Abstract
dc:description.abstractWolstenl-iolme International Ltd is a company whose main manufacturing site is located in Darwen, Lancashire. The company employs 260 persons at the Darwen site. There are three separate processes on site: the manufacture of bronze powder, the manufacture of aluminium powder and the manufacture of metallic printing inks based on these powders. The bronze process includes a foundry for the alloying of copper based alloys and because of this is a prescribed process under the Environmental Protection (Prescribed Processes and Substances) Regulations 1991 (a). These Regulations provide for processes to be regulated either by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Pollution, under the Integrated Pollution Control regime for grossly pollutive processes or by local authority control for less pollutive processes under the Air Pollution Control regime. The Darwen site falls under Local Authority control and was granted an authorisation to run the bronze process in October 1992.
