  "text": "BAT is to reduce dust emissions from the waste gases of the melting furnace by using one or a combination of the following techniques:\nA description of the techniques is given in Section 1.10.1.\nTechnique\nApplicability\n(i)\nReduction of the volatile components by raw material modifications\nThe formulation of the batch composition may contain very volatile components (e.g. boron, fluorides) which represent the main constituents of dust emitted from the melting furnace\nThe technique is generally applicable within the constraints of the quality of the glass produced\n(ii)\nElectric melting\nNot applicable for large volume glass productions (> 300 tonnes/day)\nNot applicable for productions requiring large pull variations\nThe implementation requires a complete furnace rebuild\n(iii)\nFiltration system: electrostatic precipitator or bag filter\nThe technique is generally applicable\nTable 38\nBAT-AELs for dust emissions from the melting furnace in the special glass sector\nThe conversions factors of 2,5 × 10–3 and 6,5 × 10–3 have been used for the determination of the lower and upper value of the BAT-AELs range (see Table 2), with some values being approximated. However, a-case-by-case conversion factor needs to be applied, depending on the type of glass produced (see Table 2).\nThe BAT-AELs apply to batch formulations containing significant amounts of constituents meeting the criteria as dangerous substances, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.\nParameter\nBAT-AEL\nmg/Nm3\nkg/tonne melted glass\nDust\n< 10 – 20\n< 0,03 – 0,13\n< 1 – 10\n< 0,003 – 0,065",
