Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

In order to reduce dust and PAH emissions to air from the production of green paste and green shapes, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.

Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.

Techniquef1
aDry scrubber using coke as the adsorbent agent and with or without precooling, followed by a bag filter
bCoke filter
cRegenerative thermal oxidiser
dThermal oxidiser

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 52.

Table 52

BAT-associated emission levels for dust and BaP (as an indicator of PAH) emissions to air from the production of green paste and green shapes

As an average over the sampling period.

The lower end of the range is associated with the use of a dry scrubber using coke as the adsorbent agent followed by a bag filter. The upper end of the range is associated with the use of a thermal oxidiser.

ParameterBAT-AEL (mg/Nm3)f2
Dust2-10f3
BaP0,001-0,01
