Division BAT 26 In order to reduce dust and particulate-bound metal emissions to air from the combustion of solid biomass and/or peat, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
United Kingdom
| Technique | Description | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|---|
| a. | Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) | See description in Section 8.5 | Generally applicable |
| b. | Bag filter | ||
| c. | Dry or semi-dry FGD system | See descriptions in Section 8.5 The techniques are mainly used for SOX, HCl and/or HF control | |
| d. | Wet flue-gas desulphurisation (wet FGD) | See applicability in BAT 25 | |
| e. | Fuel choice | See description in Section 8.5 | Applicable within the constraints associated with the availability of different types of fuel, which may be impacted by the energy policy of the Member State |

BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for dust emissions to air from the combustion of solid biomass and/or peat
| These BAT-AELs do not apply to plants operated < 1 500 h/yr. | ||||
| For plants operated < 500 h/yr, these levels are indicative. | ||||
| Combustion plant total rated thermal input(MWth) | BAT-AELs for dust (mg/Nm3) | |||
