Division BAT 171
United Kingdom
When processing sulphidic ores, in order to reduce dust and metal emissions to air from the handling and storage of raw materials, material pretreatment processes (such as ore preparation and ore/concentrate drying), furnace charging, smelting, converting, thermal refining and nickel powder and briquette production, BAT is to use a bag filter or a combination of an ESP and a bag filter.
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 48.
