# Commission Implementing Decision of 26 March 2013 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions for the production of cement, lime and magnesium oxide (notified under document C(2013) 1728) (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/163/EU), Division 35

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

In order to minimise limestone consumption, BAT is to use one or a combination of the following techniques:
Technique
Applicability
a
Specific quarrying, crushing and well directed use of limestone (quality, grain size)
Generally applicable in the lime industry; however, stone processing is dependent on the limestone quality
b
Selecting kilns applying optimised techniques which allow for operating with a wider range of limestone grain sizes to make optimum use of quarried limestone
Applicable to new plants and major upgrades of kiln.
Vertical kilns can in principle only burn coarse limestone pebbles. Fine lime PFRK and/or rotary kilns can operate with smaller limestone grain sizes
