# Commission Implementing Decision of 26 September 2014 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the production of pulp, paper and board (notified under document C(2014) 6750) (Text with EEA relevance) (2014/687/EU), Division BAT 32: In order to increase the efficiency of power generation, BAT is to apply a combination of the techniques given below.

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

Technique
a
High black liquor dry solid content (increases boiler efficiency, steam generation and thus electricity generation)
b
High recovery boiler pressure and temperature; in new recovery boilers the pressure can be at least 100 bars and the temperature 510 °C
c
Outlet steam pressure in the back-pressure turbine as low as technically feasible
d
Condensing turbine for power production from excess steam
e
High turbine efficiency
f
Preheating feedwater to a temperature close to the boiling temperature
g
Preheating the combustion air and fuel charged to the boilers
