Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Table 1: concentration of dimethyl sulfide in the emission gases from main processes of rendering plants
| Process | Factory | Dimethyl sulfide (µg/L) |
| Cooking | B | 41 |
| C | 29 | |
| Drying | A | 0.0004 |
| C | < 0.0003 | |
| Glue-concentrating | B | 0.048 |
| D | 0.021 | |
| Fat-refining | A | 0.083 |
| D | 0.034 |
In the discharged gas from the cooker, much higher concentrations were detected compared with those of other processes.
The discharged gases from glue and fat tanks have nearly the same concentration, that is 0.02 - 0.1 µg/L.
The discharged gas from the drying process had the lowest concentration of content.
Dimethyl sulfide was also measured at the site borderline of the rendering plants, but at very low concentrations (0.0001 to 0.0007 µg/L)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
