BAT for primary emissions from sinter plants is to reduce dust emissions from the sinter strand waste gas by means of a bag filter.

BAT for primary emissions for existing plants is to reduce dust emissions from the sinter strand waste gas by using advanced electrostatic precipitators when bag filters are not applicable.

The BAT-associated emission level for dust is < 1 – 15 mg/Nm³ for the bag filter and < 20 – 40 mg/Nm³ for the advanced electrostatic precipitator (which should be designed and operated to achieve these values), both determined as a daily mean value.
