# 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 158

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

In order to reduce dust and metal emissions to air from a refractory-lined crucible for the production of ferro-molybdenum and ferro-vanadium, BAT is to use a bag filter.
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 46.
Table 46
BAT-associated emission levels for dust emissions to air from ferro-alloys production
As an average over the sampling period.
As a daily average or as an average over the sampling period.
The upper end of the range can be up to 10 mg/Nm3 for cases where a bag filter cannot be used.
The upper end of the range may be up to 15 mg/Nm3 for the production of FeMn, SiMn, CaSi due to the sticky nature of the dust (caused e.g. by its hygroscopic capacity or chemical characteristics) affecting the efficiency of the bag filter.
Dust emissions are expected to be towards the lower end of the range when emissions of metals are above the following levels: 1 mg/Nm3 for lead, 0,05 mg/Nm3 for cadmium, 0,05 mg/Nm3 for chromiumVI, 0,05 mg/Nm3 for thallium.
