  "heading": "In order to reduce emissions to air of organic compounds (including halogenated compounds), HCl and Cl2, BAT is to treat the combined waste gas streams from EDC and/or VCM production by using a thermal oxidiser followed by two-stage wet scrubbing.",
  "text": "Description:\nFor the description of thermal oxidiser, wet and caustic scrubbing, see Section 12.1. Thermal oxidation can be carried out in a liquid waste incineration plant. In this case, the oxidation temperature exceeds 1 100 °C with a minimum residence time of 2 seconds, with subsequent rapid cooling of exhaust gases to prevent the de novo synthesis of PCDD/F.\nScrubbing is carried out in two stages: Wet scrubbing with water and, typically, recovery of hydrochloric acid, followed by wet scrubbing with caustic.\nTable 10.2\nBAT-AELs for emissions of TVOC, the sum of EDC and VCM, Cl2, HCl and PCDD/F to air from the production of EDC/VCM\nParameter\nBAT-AEL(daily average or average over the sampling period)(mg/Nm3, at 11 vol-% O2)\nTVOC\n0,5–5\nSum of EDC and VCM\n< 1\nCl2\n< 1–4\nHCl\n2–10\nPCDD/F\n0,025–0,08 ng I-TEQ/Nm3\nThe associated monitoring is in BAT 2.",
