# 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 76

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

For downstream dusty processes, BAT is to reduce emissions by using one or a combination of the following techniques:
A description of the techniques is given in Section 1.10.1.
Technique
Applicability
(i)
Applying wet milling techniques
The technique consists of grinding the frit to the desired particle size distribution with sufficient liquid to form a slurry. The process is generally carried out in alumina ball mills with water
The techniques are generally applicable
(ii)
Operating dry milling and dry product packaging under an efficient extraction system in conjunction with a fabric filter
A negative pressure is applied to the milling equipment or to the work station where packaging is carried out in order to convey dust emissions to a fabric filter
(iii)
Applying a filtration system
