permitted to be discharged with a temperature greater than one hundred and ten
degrees Fahrenheit, in Anglian Water consents we will round this value up to 45
degrees centigrade for convenience.
Maximum quantity of trade effluent to be discharge in any 24 hour period
Note the volume in cubic metres (m3) and remember to include all possible sources
of effluent and rinse waters. This volume is required to assess if the sewers,
pumping stations and the water recycling centre have sufficient capacity to accept
the discharge at the volume you require.
Maximum rate at which will you will discharge
This should be in litres per second (l/s), and is again used to assess capacity in our
network, so this needs to be the highest rate that is likely to discharged at any
time.
Periods of discharge
