# 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 179

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

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.
Technique
a
Dry scrubber using coke as the adsorbent agent and with or without precooling, followed by a bag filter
b
Coke filter
c
Regenerative thermal oxidiser
d
Thermal 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.
Parameter
BAT-AEL (mg/Nm3)
Dust
2-10
BaP
0,001-0,01
