WORLD WASTE - Thousands of tons of uncontrolled World Waste will inevitably contain very large amounts of mercury and radioactive waste material

​

INDESTRUCTIBLE - Mercury and radio activity cannot be destroyed by incineration

​

HEAVY GAS - Mercury gas is very heavy and will leave the main flue gas very quickly

​

FOOD CHAIN - As it cools the Mercury gas will condense into mercury liquid on the sea surface and quickly sink to the seabed where it will enter the food chain via the amoeba

​

INVALIDATION - Environmental reports rely entirely on flue-gas-distribution studies which do not and cannot address the real properties of mercury. The conclusions of all environmental reports will be unreliable with respect to mercury

​

MERCURY POLLUTION 

Incineration does not destroy either mercury or radio activity so they will both be thrown up into the air in the flue gas.

 

It’s impossible to determine where the radio activity will end up, but the mercury will all fall to earth before anything else, due to its weight.

​

As it falls through the air, the mercury gas will cool and condense into mercury liquid as it lands on the land and sea surfaces.

 

With respect to the sea surface, the mercury liquid will sink in the water to the seabed to be absorbed by the amoeba and so into the food chain of the marine life of the sea up to 50 miles or more depending on the wind strength.

​

One very vulnerable place is the water containing the oyster beds near the Crab House Café in Wyke Regis.

 

They are positioned at the end of the stretch of captive water behind Chesil Beach.

 

The right wind strength and direction will rain mercury on that stretch of water and seriously pollute the oyster beds.

 

The pollution will not be evident without the application of very expensive testing methods.

​

There are very few mercury experts in the world, which I know, because I am one.

 

It takes special circumstances to become a mercury expert, you cannot do it by researching the literature because, so little is known about the mercury properties that are of any real value.  

My experience comes from my many years in the oil and gas production industry where thousands of tons of mercury per year are produced by gas-condensate fields. It becomes especially critical in LNG (liquified natural gas) production. The oil companies are reluctant to share their knowledge with the world. My CV (attached) demonstrates this special expertise which cannot be obtained through standard research channels. It is unlikely that environmental experts could claim to have this level of understanding of mercury.

WASTE AND FLUE GAS CLEAN-UP CHEMISTRY

Testing and removal of mercury from the arriving waste or the discharged flue gas is essentially impossible. The cost to do either with any level of reliability would be too great to sensibly contemplate. The only thing you can say is that 100% of the mercury that arrives in the waste material going into the Portland incinerator will be impossible to detect, let alone remove, at any stage and so will be discharged to the atmosphere with the flue gas out of the top of the incinerator.

NO CONTROL OR SUPERVISION

There are many incinerators around the country which take waste from local sources, so they have reasonable control over what it contains. The problem with the Portland Incinerator is that they propose to accept waste from all around the world so, in effect, there is no control over what goes into the incinerator.

You cannot test the waste for mercury or radio activity so you will get whatever the world wants to send you. For instance:

• The Netherlands' Hydrocarbon reserves have always been their gas condensate fields which produce tons of mercury which is all waste which must be disposed of at considerable cost.

• France has nuclear power stations for most of its energy, so they have a major problem disposing of its low-level radioactive waste.

The Portland Incinerator will offer a relatively low-cost solution for the disposal of all the worlds "nasties" and in the case of mercury and radio activity lay them down over land and sea within a 50 mile or more radius of the Portland Incinerator. That includes my back garden.

AUTHENTICATION

​

You may be wondering what mercury in flue gas has to do with dyslexia?

The easy answer, without being modest, is that I am one of only a handful of World Mercury Experts.

​

I aquired my expertise as a Chemical Process Engineer in the offshore gas fields of NW Australia. More specifically with the Chevron LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) developments. Just to impress you, cost estimates for a typical offshore gas LNG development would be $30 or $40Billion
