ANNEX IVU.K.PROCESSING

CHAPTER IVU.K.ALTERNATIVE PROCESSING METHODS

Section 3U.K.Disposal and use of derived products

2.Materials resulting from processing in accordance with:U.K.
(a)

the alkaline hydrolysis process defined in point A of Section 2 may be transformed in a biogas plant and subsequently combusted rapidly at a minimum of 900 °C, followed by rapid chilling (‘quenching’); where material referred to in Article 8(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 has been used as starting material, the transformation into biogas shall take place on the same site as the processing and in a closed system;

(b)

the biodiesel production process may be:

(i)

in the case of biodiesel and of residues from the distillation of biodiesel, used as a fuel without restrictions under this Regulation (end point);

(ii)

[F1in the case of potassium sulphate, used for direct application to land or for the production of derived products for application to land;

(iii)

in the case of glycerine derived from Categories 1 and 2 material which has been processed in accordance with processing method 1 as set out in Chapter III:

  • used for technical purposes,

  • transformed into biogas, in which case the digestion residues may be applied to land within the national territory of the producing [F2constituent nation], subject to the decision of the competent authority, or

  • used for denitrification in a waste water treatment plant, in which case the residues of the denitrification may be applied to land in accordance with [F3the Urban Waste Water Treatment (England and Wales) Regulations 1994 or the Urban Waste Water Treatment (Scotland) Regulations 1994];

(iv)

in the case of glycerine derived from Category 3 material:

  • used for technical purposes,

  • transformed into biogas, in which case the digestion residues may be applied to land, or

  • used for feeding, provided that the glycerine is not derived from Category 3 material referred to in Article 10(n), (o) and (p) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009;]

(c)

[F4the multi-step catalytic process for the production of renewable fuels may be:

(i)

in the case of gasoline and the other fuels resulting from the process, used as a fuel without restrictions under this Regulation (end point);

(ii)

in the case of used clay from bleaching and sludge from the pre-treatment process referred to in point J(2)(a) of Section 2:

  • disposed of by incineration or co-incineration,

  • transformed into biogas,

  • composted or used for the manufacture of derived products referred to in Article 36(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009;]

(d)

[F5the lime-treated mixture of pig and poultry manure may be applied to land as processed manure;]

(e)

[F6The final product derived from the ensilaging of fish material may:

(i)

for Category 2 materials, be used for purposes referred to in Article 13(a) to (d) and (g) to (i) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 without further processing or as feed for animals referred to in Article 18 or Article 36(a)(ii) of that Regulation; or

(ii)

for Category 3 materials, be used for purposes referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 [F7;]]

(f)

[F8the multiple-step catalytic hydro-treatment for the production of renewable fuels may be:

(i)

in the case of renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel, renewable propane and renewable gasoline resulting from the process, used as a fuel without restrictions under this Regulation (end point);

(ii)

in the case of gum sludge and used bleaching clay from the pre-treatment process referred to in point L(2)(a) of Section 2:

  • disposed of in accordance with Article 12(a) or (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009,

  • disposed of by burial in an authorised landfill,

  • transformed into biogas, provided the digestion residues from the biogas transformation are disposed of by incineration, co-incineration or burial in an authorised landfill,

  • used for technical purposes referred to in Article 36(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009.]
