b.Biofilter
c.Thermal oxidation
d.Wet scrubbing

Table 6.10

BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for channelled emissions of HCl and TVOC to air from the treatment of water-based liquid waste

These BAT-AELs only apply when the substance concerned is identified as relevant in the waste gas stream, based on the inventory mentioned in BAT 3.

The upper end of the range is 45 mg/Nm3 when the emission load is below 0,5 kg/h at the emission point.

ParameterUnitBAT-AELf1(Average over the sampling period)
Hydrogen chloride (HCl)mg/Nm3 1-5
TVOC3-20f2

The associated monitoring is given in BAT 8.
