# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1147 of 10 August 2018 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions for waste treatment, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2018) 5070) (Text with EEA relevance), Division 4.4.2: Emissions to air

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

BAT 47. In order to reduce emissions of organic compounds to air, BAT is to apply BAT 14d and to use a combination of the techniques given below.
Technique
Description
Applicability
a.
Recirculation of process off-gases in a steam boiler
The process off-gases from the condensers are sent to the steam boiler supplying the plant.
May not be applicable to the treatment of halogenated solvent wastes, in order to avoid generating and emitting PCBs and/or PCDD/F.
b.
Adsorption
See Section 6.1.
There may be limitations to the applicability of the technique due to safety reasons (e.g. activated carbon beds tend to self-ignite when loaded with ketones).
c.
Thermal oxidation
See Section 6.1.
May not be applicable to the treatment of halogenated solvent wastes, in order to avoid generating and emitting PCBs and/or PCDD/F.
d.
Condensation or cryogenic condensation
See Section 6.1.
Generally applicable.
e.
Wet scrubbing
See Section 6.1.
Generally applicable.
The BAT-AEL set in Section 4.5 applies.
The associated monitoring is given in BAT 8.
