# 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 BAT 28: In order to reduce emissions of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/furans (PCDD/F) to air from the catalytic reforming unit, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.

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

Technique
Description
Applicability
(i)
Choice of the catalyst promoter
Use of catalyst promoter in order to minimise polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/furans (PCDD/F) formation during regeneration.
See Section 1.20.7
Generally applicable
(ii) Treatment of the regeneration flue-gas
a.
Regeneration gas recycling loop with adsorption bed
Waste gas from the regeneration step is treated to remove chlorinated compounds (e.g. dioxins)
Generally applicable to new units.
For existing units the applicability may depend on the current regeneration unit design
b.
Wet scrubbing
See Section 1.20.3
Not applicable to semi-regenerative reformers
c.
Electrostatic precipitator (ESP)
See Section 1.20.1
Not applicable to semi-regenerative reformers
