BAT for basic oxygen furnace (BOF) gas recovery during oxygen blowing in the case of full combustion is to reduce dust emissions by using one of the following techniques:

  1. I..

    dry dedusting (e.g. ESP or bag filter) for new and existing plants

  2. II..

    wet dedusting (e.g. wet ESP or scrubber) for existing plants.

The BAT-associated emission levels for dust, determined as the average over the sampling period (discontinuous measurement, spot samples for at least half an hour), are:

  • 10 – 30 mg/Nm3 for BAT I

  • < 50 mg/Nm3 for BAT II.
