BAT for on-site slag processing is to reduce dust emissions by using one or a combination of the following techniques:

  1. I..

    efficient extraction of the slag crusher and screening devices with subsequent off-gas cleaning, if relevant

  2. II..

    transport of untreated slag by shovel loaders

  3. III..

    extraction or wetting of conveyor transfer points for broken material

  4. IV..

    wetting of slag storage heaps

  5. V..

    use of water fogs when broken slag is loaded.

In the case of using BAT I, the BAT-associated emission level for dust is < 10 – 20 mg/Nm3, determined as the average over the sampling period (discontinuous measurement, spot samples for at least half an hour).
