# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1032 of 13 June 2016 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the non-ferrous metals industries (notified under document C(2016) 3563) (Text with EEA relevance), Division BAT 60

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

In order to reduce dust, sulphur dioxide, PAH and fluoride emissions to air from a baking plant in an anode production plant integrated with a primary aluminium smelter, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.
Technique
Applicability
a
Use of raw materials and fuels containing a low amount of sulphur
Generally applicable for reducing SO2 emissions
b
Dry scrubber using alumina as the adsorbent agent followed by a bag filter
Generally applicable for reducing dust, PAH and fluoride emissions
c
Wet scrubber
Applicability for reducing dust, SO2, PAH and fluoride emissions may be limited in the following cases:
very high off-gas flow rates (due to the significant amounts of waste and waste water generated)
in arid areas (due to the large volume of water necessary and the need for waste water treatment)
d
Regenerative thermal oxidiser in combination with a dust abatement system
Generally applicable for reducing dust and PAH emissions.
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 8.
