# 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 I: Primary or process-related techniques, such as:

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

Technique
Description
Applicability
(i)
Use of an attrition-resistant catalyst
Selection of catalyst substance that is able to resist abrasion and fragmentation in order to reduce dust emissions
Generally applicable provided the activity and selectivity of the catalyst are sufficient
(ii)
Use of low sulphur feedstock (e.g. by feedstock selection or by hydrotreatment of feed)
Feedstock selection favours low sulphur feedstocks among the possible sources to be processed at the unit.
Hydrotreatment aims at reducing the sulphur, nitrogen and metal contents of the feed.
See Section 1.20.3
Requires sufficient availability of low sulphur feedstocks, hydrogen production and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) treatment capacity (e.g. amine and Claus units)
