  "text": "When tin, organotin or titanium compounds are used for hot-end coating operations, BAT is to reduce emissions by using one or a combination of the following techniques:\nA description of the techniques is given in Sections 1.10.4 and 1.10.7.\nTechnique\nApplicability\n(i)\nMinimising the losses of the coating product by ensuring a good sealing of the application system and applying an effective extracting hood.\nA good construction and sealing of the application system is essential for minimising losses of unreacted product into the air\nThe technique is generally applicable\n(ii)\nCombining the flue-gas from the coating operations with the waste gas from the melting furnace or with the combustion air of the furnace, when a secondary treatment system is applied (filter and dry or semi-dry scrubber).\nBased on the chemical compatibility, the waste gases from the coating operations may be combined with other flue-gases before treatment. These two options may be applied:\ncombination with the flue gases from the melting furnace, upstream of a secondary abatement system (dry or semi-dry scrubbing plus filtration system)\ncombination with combustion air before entering the regenerator, followed by secondary abatement treatment of the waste gases generated during the melting process (dry or semi-dry scrubbing + filtration system)\nThe combination with flue gases from the melting furnace is generally applicable.\nThe combination with combustion air may be affected by technical constraints due to some potential effects on the glass chemistry and on the regenerator materials\n(iii)\nApplying a secondary technique, e.g. wet scrubbing, dry scrubbing plus filtration\nThe techniques are generally applicable\nTable 12\nBAT-AELs for air emissions from hot-end coating activities in the container glass sector when the flue-gases from downstream operations are treated separately\nParameter\nBAT-AEL\nmg/Nm3\nDust\n< 10\nTitanium compounds expressed as Ti\n< 5\nTin compounds, including organotin, expressed as Sn\n< 5\nHydrogen chloride, expressed as HCl\n< 30",
