Each load has 1.75 billion pellets
Material Flow Chart – Audit Process Lorry arrives at unloading point Meet driver and receive documentation Take seal off and get sample Unlock silo port Connect pipe to silo port Start unloading process Finish tipping Pack equipment away and leave unloading point Each load has 1.75 billion pellets A spillage of 0.01% = 175,000 lost pellet “opportunities” Where spillages could occur: Not likely Average High

Material Flow Chart – Audit Process
Silo pipe work Factory Delivery pipe work Material Manifold Drier delivery pipe work Blender/Drier Metal dectector Injection Machine Material converted to preforms Where spillages could occur: Not likely Average High
5
Improvements Purchased catch trays – these are placed under the sampling port on the vehicle They are also be used to empty pipes when silo blockages occur
6
Improvements Catch tray under silo ports – this contains any pellets lost whilst hooking and unhooking vehicle pipe work.
7
Improvements In 2015 all Silo pipe work was upgraded from flexi pipe to metal solid pipework. No leaks experienced as yet Deep clean the silos. Fitted skirting underneath the silo ring to contain / control spillages
8
Improvements Information posted in Silo area for the team and vehicle drivers to maintain awareness. Use of air lines to blow pellets around is not allowed.
9
Improvements High risk drains fitted with rubber sheeting to contain any loose pellets and prevent them from entering the drains. Making it easier to clean up any spills
10
Improvements Silo connection ports have been enclosed to prevent wide spread pellets loss in a connection fails under loading. Allowing for a quicker and easier containment and clean up.
11
Improvements Fitted mesh screens over drains directly opposite silo loading point. Allows water through but catches the pellets
12
Improvements Installed a vacuum in the Silo area to allow the drivers and team member to clean up any spills quickly.
13
Improvements Fitted mesh screens over bunded drains by the silo loading point. Allows water through but catches the pellets Fit internal catch tray in larger open drains that lead to site effluent plant.
14
Improvements Drains are deep cleaned on an annual basis
A road sweeper is used every fortnight to sweep the silo delivery ports and surrounding areas. The inside of the silos are inspected monthly for pipe work security to detect any potential risk before a problem occurs. A Donaldson dust extraction system is used to remove any dust from the system allowing to be prevented from entering the atmosphere.
