For 2003, the following consumption data were reported (see Table 5.10)  

Water (m /tPVC) Steam (t/tPVC) Electricity (kWh/tPVC) 

Note Electricity does not include off-site and utilities  

Due to the replacement of old filters by new ones at the storage silos and for the dryers, the average dust emissions were reduced to  

The plant does not have a biological waste water treatment plant, it uses a lagoon. For 2003, the following emissions were reported (see Table 5.12). The emission levels fit within the (OSPAR) standards for S-PVC production.
