Division 14

BAT is to measure the stack emissions of pollutants from the main emission sources from all processes included in the Sections 1.2 – 1.7 whenever BAT-AELs are given and in process gas-fired power plants in iron and steel works.

BAT is to use continuous measurements at least for:

• primary emissions of dust, nitrogen oxides (NO_X) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂) from sinter strands

• nitrogen oxides (NO_X) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂) emissions from induration strands of pelletisation plants

• dust emissions from blast furnace cast houses

• secondary emissions of dust from basic oxygen furnaces

• emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO_X) from power plants

• dust emissions from large electric arc furnaces.

For other emissions, BAT is to consider using continuous emission monitoring depending on the mass flow and emission characteristics.
