# 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 56

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

BAT is to reduce dust emissions from the waste gases of the melting furnace by applying an electrostatic precipitator or a bag filter system
A description of the techniques is given in Section 1.10.1.
Technique
Applicability
Filtration system: electrostatic precipitator or bag filter
The technique is generally applicable.
Electrostatic precipitators are not applicable to cupola furnaces for stone wool production, due to the risk of explosion from the ignition of carbon monoxide produced within the furnace
Table 46
BAT-AELs for dust emissions from the melting furnace in the mineral wool sector
The conversion factors of 2 × 10–3 and 2,5 × 10–3 have been used for the determination of the lower and upper value of the BAT-AELs range (see Table 2), in order to cover both the production of glass wool and stone wool.
Parameter
BAT-AEL
mg/Nm3
kg/tonne melted glass
Dust
< 10 – 20
< 0,02 – 0,050
