Latest Update, Process Stopped

Just received a call from the GM at Ulster Farm By-Products Limited. They are finishing up for the day and he was enquiring as to the state of play with regards to smell. There is a slight smell in the air, however it is nothing compared to what the smell was like. This means that the equipment will not be processing this weekend and whatever the problems they have been having will hopefully be rectified by Monday.
He also said that he would not even mention the Thermal Oxidisiers as he is fully aware as to my opinion of them right at this moment in time.
Lets all hope for NO SMELL over the weekend and through next week. This being the case I may not be posting back here for a while.

 

The Status

12:08 Just been outside to assess the current state of play.
Although the air is nowhere nere as bad as it was there is still a trace of a not nice smell.
I presume that this will mean that the plant will be being shut down by the Environmental Health Officer.

 

Ulster Farm By-Products

10:50 Received a call from the GM and was told that they were diverting their most smelly stuff to Foyle. Also informed that believe that the problem seems to be a bigger problem than they first thought. Told the GM that the smell was still there although it was less repulsive than it had been.

 

New Smell

The smell has now changed and the VILE ROTTEN MATERIAL smell seems to have dispersed.

The smell is now one of Burning Rubber, does this mean that they are working fast, I doubt it.
Am I going to report it? Whats the point I may as well get a brick and talk to that. That way I will not be running up my phone bill.

 

Lisburn City Council

09:45 Run LCC again to see when someone would be comming out to see me in relation to the smell. the Senior Environmental Health Officers extention was busy so I held. And held. And Held. And Held. I asked the Senior Environmental Health Officer for someone to come out to my property and assess the air polution that I am currently experencing. The reply NO.
At this point I requested to speak to their Superior. Spoke to the Director and explained my total dissatisfaction with Lisburn City Council. Again I was refused for someone to come out to my property. The Director believes that the problems are in relation to the commissioning of the Thermal Oxidisers.
What do we pay our rates for?
NO Street Lights.
NO Response from web requests about their web site.
NO Main Sewers.
NO support in relation to Air Polution matters.
NO information as to what is happening within their Department.
I was told that Ulster Farm By-Products have until 12:00 today to sort the problem. At that point the Senior Environmental Health Officer will visit and assess the situation. A decision will then be taken then as to if the plant is to be closed.
