  "text": "When nitrates are used in the batch formulation, BAT is to reduce NOX emissions by minimising the use of these raw materials, in combination with primary or secondary techniques. If secondary techniques are applied, the BAT-AELs reported in Table 15 are applicable.\nIf nitrates are used in the batch formulation for the production of special glasses in a limited number of short campaigns, the BAT-AELs are set out in Table 16.\nA description of the technique is given in Section 1.10.2.\nTechnique\nApplicability\nPrimary techniques:\nminimising the use of nitrates in the batch formulation\nThe use of nitrates is applied for special productions (i.e. coloured glass).\nEffective alternative materials are sulphates, arsenic oxides, cerium oxide\nThe substitution of nitrates in the batch formulation may be limited by the high costs and/or higher environmental impact of the alternative materials\nTable 16\nBAT-AEL for NOX emissions from the melting furnace in the flat glass sector, when nitrates are used in the batch formulation for the production of special glasses in a limited number of short campaigns\nThe conversion factor reported in Table 2 for specific cases (2,5 × 10–3) has been applied\nParameter\nBAT\nBAT-AEL\nmg/Nm3\nkg/tonne melted glass\nNOX expressed as NO2\nPrimary techniques\n< 1 200\n< 3",
