# 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 43

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

BAT for storage and handling of pulverised coal is to prevent or reduce diffuse dust emissions by using one or a combination of the following techniques:
I.. storing pulverised materials in bunkers and warehouses
II.. using closed or enclosed conveyors
III.. minimising the drop heights depending on the plant size and construction
IV.. reducing emissions from charging of the coal tower and the charging car
V.. using efficient extraction and subsequent dedusting.
When using BAT V, the BAT-associated emission level for dust is < 10 – 20 mg/Nm3, as the average over the sampling period (discontinuous measurement, spot samples for at least half an hour).
