9B  Project treatment facilities—biogas generation for biomethane

       A project treatment facility that treats organic effluent by biogas generation for biomethane must:

            (a) use one or more anaerobic digesters to generate and capture biogas; and

            (b) send that biogas to a biogas upgrading system that is part of a project biomethane facility.
9C Project treatment facilities—emissions destruction

       (1)  A project treatment facility that treats organic effluent by emissions destruction must use:
         (a) one or more anaerobic digesters to generate and capture the biogas; and
         (b) one or more combustion devices to destroy the proportion of the biogas that is methane.

       (2)  Each combustion device used to destroy that methane must be operated to result in the complete combustion of methane.

       (3)  If a flare is used as a combustion device for that purpose:
         (a) the flare must be designed to maintain continuous destruction of methane when operational; and
         (b) the facility must include a system that detects and records when the flare is operational, in accordance with the Supplement
9D Project treatment facilities—emissions avoidance

       A project treatment facility that treats material by emissions avoidance must:
            (a) use a solids separation treatment method of diversion in accordance with any requirements set out in the Supplement; and
            (b) apply a post-diversion treatment, in accordance with any requirements set out in the Supplement, through:
                (i) a method of stockpiles (solid storage); or
                (ii) a method of composting (passive windrow).
