The Proposal
The proposal is for the installation of a new dry limestone cascade scrubber system at Austral Bricks’ existing level 2 brick manufacturing facility located on Weston St in Longford.
The new scrubber is required to help reduce emission of acid gases generated during the brick firing process from the kilns exhaust system, particularly removal of hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and sulphur dioxide gases.
The proposal also includes lime crushing and storage areas.
