Regulation 2

SCHEDULE LIST OF RELEVANT PROCESSES AND ACTIVITIES

The relevant processes and activities are—

(1) at an installation or site where—

(a) nitrogen, oxygen or argon is separated from air, and then compressed or liquefied; or

(b) nitrogen, oxygen and argon are separated from air, and then made into a compressed or liquefied mixture of at least two of the former,

separating the above substances from air using one or more of the following air separation technologies: cryogenic distillation, pressure swing adsorption, vacuum swing absorption or membrane separation, compressing and liquefying the separated substances, pumping them (in a compressed or liquefied form) from within the installation for further use within or outside the installation;

(2) at an installation or site where kaolinitic clay in combination with any of its accessory minerals is extracted and processed, blasting and crushing, dry mining or hydraulic mining, refining, blending, drying and packaging, classifying, hydrocloning, pumping, centrifuging, grinding, shredding, magnetic separating, bleaching, pressing, pugging, milling, micro separating;

(3) at an installation or site where calcium carbonate based minerals are processed for use as filler or whitener for paper, plastics, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, food, paint or other products, crushing, drying, milling, classifying, screening, packaging;

(4) at an installation or site where pre-formed or manufactured metal components are heat–treated to facilitate their efficient formability or to enhance their service performance, all processes and activities involved in the heat treatment of pre-formed or manufactured metal components to facilitate their efficient formability or to enhance their service performance;

(5) at an installation or site where (in controlled, environment–protected structures) horticultural crops are grown, harvested and receive primary preparation for market, planting, seeding, heating, lighting, ventilating, irrigating, fertilising, cooling, preparing and sterilising growing media, grading and conveying;

(6) at an installation or site where textiles are manufactured, spinning, weaving, knitting, finishing but not printing or dyeing;

(7) at an installation or site where plastic film is produced using extrusion to convert melted polymer into blown or cast film, all processes and activities involved in the production of plastic film using extrusion to convert melted polymer into blown or cast film.
