  "text": "In order to use energy efficiently, BAT is to use a combination of the techniques given below.\nTechnique\nApplicability\na\nEnergy efficiency management system (e.g. ISO 50001)\nGenerally applicable\nb\nRegenerative or recuperative burners\nGenerally applicable\nc\nHeat recovery (e.g. steam, hot water, hot air) from waste process heat\nOnly applicable for pyrometallurgical processes\nd\nRegenerative thermal oxidiser\nOnly applicable when the abatement of a combustible pollutant is required\ne\nPreheat the furnace charge, combustion air or fuel using the heat recovered from hot gases from the melting stage\nOnly applicable for roasting or smelting of sulphide ore/concentrate and for other pyrometallurgical processes\nf\nRaise the temperature of the leaching liquors using steam or hot water from waste heat recovery\nOnly applicable for alumina or hydrometallurgical processes\ng\nUse hot gases from the launder as preheated combustion air\nOnly applicable for pyrometallurgical processes\nh\nUse oxygen-enriched air or pure oxygen in the burners to reduce energy consumption by allowing autogenous smelting or the complete combustion of carbonaceous material\nOnly applicable for furnaces that use raw materials containing sulphur or carbon\ni\nDry concentrates and wet raw materials at low temperatures\nOnly applicable when drying is performed\nj\nRecover the chemical energy content of the carbon monoxide produced in an electric or shaft/blast furnace by using the exhaust gases as a fuel, after the removal of metals, in other production processes or to produce steam/hot water or electricity\nOnly applicable to exhaust gases with a CO content > 10 vol-%. Applicability is also influenced by the composition of the exhaust gas and the unavailability of a continuous flow (i.e. batch processes)\nk\nRecirculate the flue-gas back through an oxy-fuel burner to recover the energy contained in the total organic carbon present\nGenerally applicable\nl\nSuitable insulation for high temperature equipment such as steam and hot water pipes\nGenerally applicable\nm\nUse the heat generated from the production of sulphuric acid from sulphur dioxide to preheat gas directed to the sulphuric acid plant or to generate steam and/or hot water\nOnly applicable for non-ferrous metals plants including sulphuric acid or liquid SO2 production\nn\nUse high efficiency electric motors equipped with variable-frequency drive, for equipment such as fans\nGenerally applicable\no\nUse control systems that automatically activate the air extraction system or adjust the extraction rate depending on actual emissions\nGenerally applicable",
