240227002886 - Renewal of existing ECC for the proposed operation of a temporary bitumen storage and bitumen emulsion production facility in Arandis, Namibiaestablishment of a temporary bitumen storage and emulsion production plant in Arandis, Erongo Region.:

Proposed operation of a temporary bitumen storage and bitumen emulsion production facility in Arandis, Namibia Nature of Activity: Storage and production of road surfacing material (bitumen and bitumen emulsions) Location of Activity: Erf 112, Arandis Industrial Township Scale and Scope of Activity: The bitumen storage and bitumen emulsion production facility is a small operation and designed as a closed unit. The storage and production facility has an actual footprint of approximately 500m². The site surface covers 1100m². The storage capacity of bitumen and bitumen emulsions are facilitated as follow: 1 X 38 Kl bitumen tank (38 tons) – Non-dangerous 2 X 23Kl Anionic Emulsion tanks (23 tons) – Non-dangerous 2 X 23Kl cationic emulsion tanks (23 tons) – Non-dangerous 2 X 23Kl Quick Drying Primer (23 tons) – Non-dangerous and regarded as environmental friendly. 1 X 23Kl Bitumen cut-back (23 tons) – Dangerous 20 X 200L Paraffin drums (4 tons) – Dangerous 5 X 200L Diesel drums (1 ton) – Dangerous 500L Bio-fuel - Dangerous The total storage of dangerous goods on site will have combined storage capacity of 28Kl (28 tons) although the actual product capacity of product will be less. Storage facility: The storage and production unit is temporary of nature and no new structures will be erected. A make-shift bund, made up of stacked sand bags and lined with high density plastic sheeting has been proven to be effective. Although bitumen is not listed as a dangerous good, the bitumen storage tank and the emulsion storage tanks will be stored in a single bunded facility.
