# 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 180

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

In order to reduce dust and PAH emissions to air from baking, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.
Technique
Applicability
a
ESP, in combination with a thermal oxidation step (e.g. regenerative thermal oxidiser) when highly volatile compounds are expected
Generally applicable
b
Regenerative thermal oxidiser, in combination with a pretreatment (e.g. ESP) in cases of a high dust content in the exhaust gas
Generally applicable
c
Thermal oxidiser
Not applicable to continuous ring furnaces
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 53.
Table 53
BAT-associated emission levels for dust and BaP (as an indicator of PAH) emissions to air from baking and rebaking
As an average over the sampling period.
The lower end of the range is associated with the use of a combination of an ESP and a regenerative thermal oxidiser. The higher end of the range is associated with the use of a thermal oxidiser.
The lower end of the range is associated with the use of a thermal oxidiser. The upper end of the range is associated with the use of a combination of an ESP and a regenerative thermal oxidiser.
For cathode production, the upper end of the range is 0,05 mg/Nm3.
Parameter
BAT-AEL (mg/Nm3)
Dust
2-10
BaP
0,005-0,015
