# 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 76

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

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