In order to guarantee the characteristics of waste to be used as fuels and/or raw materials in magnesium oxide kilns, BAT is to use the following techniques:

	Technique
a	To select suitable wastes for the process and the burner
b	To apply quality assurance systems to guarantee and control the characteristics of wastes and to analyse any waste that is to be used for: I.. availability II.. constant quality III.. physical criteria, e.g. emissions formation, coarseness, reactivity, burnability, calorific value IV.. chemical criteria, e.g. chlorine, sulphur, alkali and phosphate content and relevant metals (e.g. total chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury, thallium) content
c	To control the amount of relevant parameters for any waste that is to be used, such as total halogen content, metals (e.g. total chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury, thallium) and sulphur

Technique

To select suitable wastes for the process and the burner

To apply quality assurance systems to guarantee and control the characteristics of wastes and to analyse any waste that is to be used for:

I..

availability
II..

constant quality
III..

physical criteria, e.g. emissions formation, coarseness, reactivity, burnability, calorific value
IV..

chemical criteria, e.g. chlorine, sulphur, alkali and phosphate content and relevant metals (e.g. total chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury, thallium) content

To control the amount of relevant parameters for any waste that is to be used, such as total halogen content, metals (e.g. total chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury, thallium) and sulphur
