# 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 36

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 Sections 1.10.5 and 1.10.6.
Technique
Applicability
(i)
Selection of raw materials for the batch formulation with a low content of metals
The technique is generally applicable within the constraints of the availability of raw materials
(ii)
Applying a dry or semi-dry scrubbing, in combination with a filtration system
The technique is generally applicable
(iii)
Applying wet scrubbing
The technique is generally applicable within technical constraints; i.e. need for a specific waste water treatment plant.
Table 26
BAT-AELs for metal emissions from the melting furnace in the continuous filament glass fibre sector
The levels refer to the sum of metals present in the flue-gases in both solid and gaseous phases.
The conversion factor reported in Table 2 (4,5 × 10–3) has been applied.
