# 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 146

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

In order to reduce PCDD/F emissions to air from a drying operation where the raw materials contain organic compounds, halogens or other PCDD/F precursors, from an incineration operation, and from a calcining operation, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.
Technique
a
Afterburner or regenerative thermal oxidiser
b
Injection of adsorption agent in combination with an efficient dust collection system
c
Optimise combustion or process conditions for the abatement of emissions of organic compounds
d
Avoid exhaust systems with a high dust build-up for temperatures > 250 °C
e
Rapid quenching
f
Thermal destruction of PCDD/F in the furnace at high temperatures (> 850 °C)
g
Use of oxygen injection in the upper zone of the furnace
h
Internal burner system
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 45.
Table 45
BAT-associated emission levels for PCDD/F emissions to air from a drying operation where the raw materials contain organic compounds, halogens or other PCDD/F precursors, from an incineration operation, and from a calcining operation
As an average over a sampling period of at least six hours.
Parameter
BAT-AEL (ng I-TEQ/Nm3)
PCDD/F
≤ 0,1
