# 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 183

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

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.
Technique
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)
TVOC
≤ 10-40
