  "text": "BAT 29. In order to prevent or, where that is not practicable, to reduce emissions of organic compounds to air, BAT is to apply BAT 14d, BAT 14h and to use technique a. and one or both of the techniques b. and c. given below.\nTechnique\nDescription\na.\nOptimised removal and capture of refrigerants and oils\nAll refrigerants and oils are removed from the WEEE containing VFCs and/or VHCs and captured by a vacuum suction system (e.g. achieving refrigerant removal of at least 90 %). Refrigerants are separated from oils and the oils are degassed.\nThe amount of oil remaining in the compressor is reduced to a minimum (so that the compressor does not drip).\nb.\nCryogenic condensation\nWaste gas containing organic compounds such as VFCs/VHCs is sent to a cryogenic condensation unit where they are liquefied (see description in Section 6.1). The liquefied gas is stored in pressurised vessels for further treatment.\nc.\nAdsorption\nWaste gas containing organic compounds such as VFCs/VHCs is led into adsorption systems (see description in Section 6.1). The spent activated carbon is regenerated by means of heated air pumped into the filter to desorb the organic compounds. Subsequently, the regeneration waste gas is compressed and cooled in order to liquefy the organic compounds (in some cases by cryogenic condensation). The liquefied gas is then stored in pressurised vessels. The remaining waste gas from the compression stage is usually led back into the adsorption system in order to minimise VFC/VHC emissions.\nTable 6.4\nBAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for channelled TVOC and CFC emissions to air from the treatment of WEEE containing VFCs and/or VHCs\nParameter\nUnit\nBAT-AEL(Average over the sampling period)\nTVOC\nmg/Nm3\n3-15\nCFCs\nmg/Nm3\n0,5-10\nThe associated monitoring is given in BAT 8.",
