Give examples of environmental activities conducted in Alicante port
1) Retention screens. Decreased rate of prevailing wind towards the urban environment.
2) WAter spray system. Directly attacks the particles in suspension during handling of bulk material, generating an effect of precipitating of the particles produced by weight of the water. Compliments the windbreak barriers during loading and unloading of solid bulk material.
3) wheel washing system. Reduce resuspensio not bulk material.
4) plant barriers. This is integrated within the Plan of Urban Integration of the Port of Alicante, improve arthritics and co2 sequestration.
5) coordination procedure during the operation : loading / unloading of solid bulk is used following guidelines eg 20km/ h speed limit, staging area for trucks.
6) wind alert system
