# 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 1.10.1: Dust emissions

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

Technique
Description
Electrostatic precipitator
Electrostatic precipitators operate such that particles are charged and separated under the influence of an electrical field. Electrostatic precipitators are capable of operating over a wide range of conditions
Bag filter
Bag filters are constructed from porous woven or felted fabric through which gases are flowed to remove particles.
The use of a bag filter requires a fabric material selection adequate to the characteristics of the waste gases and the maximum operating temperature
Reduction of the volatile components by raw material modifications
The formulation of batch compositions might contain very volatile components (e.g. boron compounds) which could be minimised or substituted for reducing dust emissions mainly generated by volatilisation phenomena
Electric melting
The technique consists of a melting furnace where the energy is provided by resistive heating.
In the cold-top furnaces (where the electrodes are generally inserted at the bottom of the furnace) the batch blanket covers the surface of the melt with a consequent, significant reduction of the volatilisation of batch components (i.e. lead compounds)
