BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 16.

Table 16

BAT-associated emission levels for non-methane VOC and benzene emissions to air from loading and unloading operations of volatile liquid hydrocarbon compounds

Hourly values in continuous operation expressed and measured according to European Parliament and Council Directive 94/63/EC (OJ L 365, 31.12.1994, p. 24).

Lower value achievable with two-stage hybrid systems. Upper value achievable with single-stage adsorption or membrane system.

Benzene monitoring may not be necessary where emissions of NMVOC are at the lower end of the range.
