# 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 73

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

BAT is to control SOX emissions from the melting furnace by using one or a combination of the following techniques:
A description of the techniques is given in Section 1.10.3.
Technique
Applicability
(i)
Selection of raw materials for the batch formulation with a low content of sulphur
The technique is generally applicable within the constraints of the availability of raw materials
(ii)
Dry or semi-dry scrubbing, in combination with a filtration system
The technique is generally applicable
(iii)
Use of low sulphur content fuels
The applicability may be limited by the constraints associated with the availability of low sulphur fuels, which may be impacted by the energy policy of the Member State
Table 63
BAT-AELs for SOX emissions from the melting furnace in the frits sector
The conversion factors of 5 × 10–3 and 7,5 × 10–3 have been used; however, the values indicated in the table may have been approximated. A case-by-case conversion factor may have to be applied based on the type of combustion (see Table 2).
