# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442 of 31 July 2017 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for large combustion plants (notified under document C(2017) 5225) (Text with EEA relevance), Division BAT 71: In order to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds and polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins and -furans to air from the co-incineration of waste with biomass, peat, coal and/or lignite, BAT is to use a combination of the techniques given in BAT 6, BAT 26 and below.

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

Technique
Description
Applicability
a.
Activated carbon injection
See description in Section 8.5.
This process is based on the adsorption of pollutant molecules by the activated carbon
Generally applicable
b.
Rapid quenching using wet scrubbing/flue-gas condenser
See description of wet scrubbing/flue-gas condenser in Section 8.4
c.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
See description in Section 8.3.
The SCR system is adapted and larger than an SCR system only used for NOX reduction
See applicability in BAT 20 and in BAT 24
