BAT is to reduce dust emissions from the waste gases of the melting furnace by applying a flue-gas cleaning system such as an electrostatic precipitator or a bag filter.

A description of filtration systems (i.e. electrostatic precipitator, bag filter) is given in Section 1.10.1.

Techniquef1 Applicability
The flue-gas cleaning systems consist of end-of-pipe techniques based on the filtration of all materials that are solid at the point of measurementThe technique is generally applicable
