For downstream dusty processes, BAT is to reduce emissions of dust and metals by using one or a combination of the following techniques:

A description of the techniques is given in Section 1.10.8.

Techniquef1 Applicability

(i)

Performing dusty operations (e.g. cutting, grinding, polishing) under liquid

The techniques are generally applicable

(ii)

Applying a bag filter system
