  "text": "BAT 39. In order to reduce emissions to air, BAT is to use both of the techniques given below.\nTechnique\nDescription\nApplicability\na.\nSegregation of the waste gas streams\nSplitting of the total waste gas stream into waste gas streams with a high pollutant content and waste gas streams with a low pollutant content, as identified in the inventory mentioned in BAT 3.\nGenerally applicable to new plants.\nGenerally applicable to existing plants within the constraints associated with the layout of the air circuits.\nb.\nRecirculation of waste gas\nRecirculation of waste gas with a low pollutant content in the biological process followed by waste gas treatment adapted to the concentration of pollutants (see BAT 34).\nThe use of waste gas in the biological process may be limited by the waste gas temperature and/or the pollutant content.\nIt may be necessary to condense the water vapour contained in the waste gas before reuse. In this case, cooling is necessary, and the condensed water is recirculated when possible (see BAT 35) or treated before discharge.",
