# 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 75

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

BAT for basic oxygen furnace (BOF) gas recovery by suppressed combustion is to extract the BOF gas during blowing as much as possible and to clean it by using the following techniques in combination:
I.. use of a suppressed combustion process
II.. prededusting to remove coarse dust by means of dry separation techniques (e.g. deflector, cyclone) or wet separators
III.. dust abatement by means of:
(i) dry dedusting (e.g. electrostatic precipitator) for new and existing plants
(ii) wet dedusting (e.g. wet electrostatic precipitator or scrubber) for existing plants.
The residual dust concentrations associated with BAT, after buffering the BOF gas, are:
10 – 30 mg/Nm3 for BAT III.i
< 50 mg/Nm3 for BAT III.ii.
