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

In order to prevent or reduce diffuse emissions from charging, smelting and tapping operations in lead and/or tin production, and from pre-decoppering operations in primary lead production, BAT is to use an appropriate combination of the techniques given below.
Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.
Technique
Applicability
a
Encapsulated charging system with an air extraction system
Generally applicable
b
Sealed or enclosed furnaces with door sealing for processes with a discontinuous feed and output
Generally applicable
c
Operate furnace and gas routes under negative pressure and at a sufficient gas extraction rate to prevent pressurisation
Generally applicable
d
Capture hood/enclosures at charging and tapping points
Generally applicable
e
Enclosed building
Generally applicable
f
Complete hood coverage with an air extraction system
In existing plants or major upgrades of existing plants, application may be difficult due to the space requirements
g
Maintain furnace sealing
Generally applicable
h
Maintain the temperature in the furnace at the lowest required level
Generally applicable
i
Apply a hood at the tapping point, ladles and drossing area with an air extraction system
Generally applicable
j
Pretreatment of dusty raw material, such as pelletisation
Applicable only when the process and the furnace can use pelletised raw materials
k
Apply a doghouse for ladles during tapping
Generally applicable
l
An air extraction system for charging and tapping area connected to a filtration system
Generally applicable
