In order to reduce emissions to air of dust, and of particulate-bound metals, PCDD/F and dioxin-like PCBs, BAT is to apply BAT 14d and to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.\nTechnique\nDescription\nApplicability\na.\nCyclone\nSee Section 6.1.\nCyclones are mainly used as preliminary separators for coarse dust.\nGenerally applicable.\nb.\nFabric filter\nSee Section 6.1.\nMay not be applicable to exhaust air ducts directly connected to the shredder when the effects of deflagration on the fabric filter cannot be mitigated (e.g. by using pressure relief valves).\nc.\nWet scrubbing\nSee Section 6.1.\nGenerally applicable.\nd.\nWater injection into the shredder\nThe waste to be shredded is damped by injecting water into the shredder. The amount of water injected is regulated in relation to the amount of waste being shredded (which may be monitored via the energy consumed by the shredder motor).\nThe waste gas that contains residual dust is directed to cyclone(s) and/or a wet scrubber.\nOnly applicable within the constraints associated with local conditions (e.g. low temperature, drought).\nTable 6.3\nBAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for channelled dust emissions to air from the mechanical treatment of waste\nWhen a fabric filter is not applicable, the upper end of the range is 10 mg/Nm3.\nParameter\nUnit\nBAT-AEL(Average over the sampling period)\nDust\nmg/Nm3\n2-5\nThe associated monitoring is given in BAT 8.",
