Division BAT-associated emission levels

United Kingdom

See Table 4.

Table 4

BAT-associated emission levels for SO_x from the flue-gases of kiln firing and/or preheating/precalcining processes in the cement industry

Parameter	Unit	BAT-AEL^f1 ^f2(daily average value)
The range takes into account the sulphur content in the raw materials.
For white cement and special cement clinker production, the ability of clinker to retain fuel sulphur might be significantly lower leading to higher SO_X emissions.
SO_x expressed as SO₂	mg/Nm³	< 50 – 400

Annotations

f1: The range takes into account the sulphur content in the raw materials.
f2: For white cement and special cement clinker production, the ability of clinker to retain fuel sulphur might be significantly lower leading to higher SO_X emissions.
