# Commission Implementing Decision of 28 February 2012 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions for the manufacture of glass (notified under document C(2012) 865) (Text with EEA relevance) (2012/134/EU), Division 29

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

BAT is to reduce metal emissions from the melting furnace by using one or a combination of the following techniques:
A description of the techniques is given in Section 1.10.5.
Technique
Applicability
(i)
Selection of raw materials for the batch formulation with a low content of metals
The applicability may be limited by the constraints imposed by the type of glass produced at the installation and the availability of the raw materials.
(ii)
Applying a filtration system
The technique is generally applicable
(iii)
Applying a dry or semi-dry scrubbing, in combination with a filtration system
Table 19
BAT-AELs for metal emissions from the melting furnace in the flat glass sector, with the exception of selenium coloured glasses
The ranges refer to the sum of metals present in the flue-gases in both solid and gaseous phases.
The conversion factor reported in Table 2 (2,5 × 10–3) has been applied
