# 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 75

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

BAT is to reduce metal emissions from the melting furnace by using one or a combination of the following techniques:
A description of the techniques is given in Section 1.10.5.
Technique
Applicability
(i)
Selection of raw materials for the batch formulation with a low content of metals
The technique is generally applicable within the constraints of the type of frit produced at the installation and the availability of raw materials
(ii)
Minimising of the use of metal compounds in the batch formulation, where colouring is required or other specific characteristics are conferred to the frit
The techniques are generally applicable
(iii)
Dry or semi-dry scrubbing, in combination with a filtration system
Table 65
BAT-AELs for metal emissions from the melting furnace in the frits sector
The levels refer to the sum of metals present in the flue-gases in both solid and gaseous phases.
The conversion factor of 7,5 × 10–3 has been used. A case-by-case conversion factor may have to be applied based on the type of combustion (see Table 2).
