# Commission Implementing Decision of 9 October 2014 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions, for the refining of mineral oil and gas (notified under document C(2014) 7155) (Text with EEA relevance) (2014/738/EU), Division

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

BAT-associated environmental performance levels (BAT-AEPL): See Table 17.
Table 17
BAT-associated environmental performance levels for a waste gas sulphur (H2S) recovery system
Sulphur recovery efficiency is calculated over the whole treatment chain (including SRU and TGTU) as the fraction of sulphur in the feed that is recovered in the sulphur stream routed to the collection pits.
When the applied technique does not include a recovery of sulphur (e.g. seawater scrubber), it refers to the sulphur removal efficiency, as the % of sulphur removed by the whole treatment chain.
BAT-associated environmental performance level (monthly average)
Acid gas removal
Achieve hydrogen sulphides (H2S) removal in the treated RFG in order to meet gas firing BAT-AEL for BAT 36
Sulphur recovery efficiency
New unit: 99,5 – > 99,9 %
Existing unit: ≥ 98,5 %
The associated monitoring is described in BAT 4.
