Division BAT 183
United Kingdom
In order to reduce emissions of organic compounds to air, including phenol and the formaldehyde from the impregnation stage where special impregnation agents such as resins and biodegradable solvents are used, BAT is to use one of the techniques given below.
| Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10. | |
| Techniquef1 | |
|---|---|
| a | Regenerative thermal oxidiser in combination with an ESP for the mixing, baking and impregnation stages |
| b | Biofilter and/or bioscrubber for the impregnation stage where special impregnation agents such as resins and biodegradable solvents are used |
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 55.
Table 55
BAT-associated emission levels for TVOC emissions to air from mixing, baking and impregnation
| As an average over the sampling period. | |
| The lower end of the range is associated with the use of an ESP in combination with a regenerative thermal oxidiser. The upper end of the range is associated with the use of a biofilter and/or a bioscrubber. | |
| Parameter | BAT-AEL (mg/Nm3)f2 f3 |
|---|---|
| TVOC | ≤ 10-40 |
