Pollution Prevention & Control (PPC) Consultants

Major industrial, energy, waste and manufacturing sites require an environmental permit to operate under the Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) Regulations in Scotland. This regulation requires industrial sites and installations, to hold a permit to operate.  IKM’s team of Pollution Prevention Control (PPC) Permitting consultants can offer advice on:

  • Best Available Techniques (BAT) to mitigate pollution and reduce it to ensure compliance with PPC permit.
  • BAT reference documents (BREF’s) are extensive and IKM will use a bespoke approach to each installation’s requirements to ensure the environmental regulator is satisfied.
  • Emissions, including air, water and land, that may impact adjacent receptors and need to be considered
