BAT for coke quenching is to reduce dust emissions by using one of the following techniques:

  1. I..

    using coke dry quenching (CDQ) with the recovery of sensible heat and the removal of dust from charging, handling and screening operations by means of a bag filter

  2. II..

    using emission-minimised conventional wet quenching

  3. III..

    using coke stabilisation quenching (CSQ).

The BAT-associated emission levels for dust, determined as the average over the sampling period, are:

  • < 20 mg/Nm3 in case of coke dry quenching

  • < 25 g/t coke in case of emission minimised conventional wet quenchingf1

  • < 10 g/t coke in case of coke stabilisation quenchingf2.
