# 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 37

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

BAT is to reduce emissions from downstream processes by using one or a combination of the following techniques:
A description of the techniques is given in Sections 1.10.7 and 1.10.8.
Technique
Applicability
(i)
Wet scrubbing systems
The techniques are generally applicable for the treatment of waste gases from the forming process (application of the coating to the fibres) or secondary processes which involve the use of binder that must be cured or dried
(ii)
Wet electrostatic precipitator
(iii)
Filtration system (bag filter)
The technique is generally applicable for the treatment of waste gases from cutting and milling operations of the products
