# 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 iron and steel production (notified under document C(2012) 903) (Text with EEA relevance) (2012/135/EU), Division 23

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

BAT for primary emissions from sinter strands is to reduce total nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions by using one or a combination of the following techniques:
I.. process integrated measures which can include:
(i) waste gas recirculation
(ii) other primary measures, such as the use of anthracite or the use of low-NOX burners for ignition
II.. end-of-pipe techniques which can include
(i) the regenerative activated carbon (RAC) process
(ii) selective catalytic reduction (SCR).
The BAT-associated emission level for nitrogen oxides (NOX) using process integrated measures is < 500 mg/Nm3, expressed as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and determined as a daily mean value.
The BAT-associated emission level for nitrogen oxides (NOX) using RAC is < 250 mg/Nm3 and using SCR it is < 120 mg/Nm3, expressed as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), related to an oxygen content of 15 % and determined as daily mean values.
