# 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 61

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

BAT for casting house (tap holes, runners, torpedo ladles charging points, skimmers) is to prevent or reduce diffuse dust emissions by using the following techniques:
I.. covering the runners
II.. optimising the capture efficiency for diffuse dust emissions and fumes with subsequent off-gas cleaning by means of an electrostatic precipitator or bag filter
III.. fume suppression using nitrogen while tapping, where applicable and where no collecting and dedusting system for tapping emissions is installed.
When using BAT II, the BAT-associated emission level for dust is < 1 – 15 mg/Nm3, determined as a daily mean value.
