BAT is to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the lubricant burn-off oven by using one or a combination of the following techniques:

A description of the techniques is given in Sections 1.10.6 and 1.10.9.

Techniquef1 Applicability

(i)

Combustion control, including monitoring the associated emissions of CO.

The technique consists of the control of combustion parameters (e.g. oxygen content in the reaction zone, flame temperature) in order to ensure a complete combustion of the organic components (i.e. polyethylene glycol) in the waste gas. The monitoring of carbon monoxide emissions allows for controlling the presence of uncombusted organic materials

The technique is generally applicable

(ii)

Waste gas incineration

The economic viability may limit the applicability of these techniques because of low waste gas volumes and VOC concentrations

(iii)

Wet scrubbers
