  "text": "BAT 2.BAT is to determine either the gross electrical efficiency, the gross energy efficiency, or the boiler efficiency of the incineration plant as a whole or of all the relevant parts of the incineration plant.\nDescription\nIn the case of a new incineration plant or after each modification of an existing incineration plant that could significantly affect the energy efficiency, the gross electrical efficiency, the gross energy efficiency, or the boiler efficiency is determined by carrying out a performance test at full load.\nIn the case of an existing incineration plant that has not carried out a performance test, or where a performance test at full load cannot be carried out for technical reasons, the gross electrical efficiency, the gross energy efficiency, or the boiler efficiency can be determined taking into account the design values at performance test conditions.\nFor the performance test, no EN standard is available for the determination of the boiler efficiency of incineration plants. For grate-fired incineration plants, the FDBR guideline RL 7 may be used.\nBAT 3. BAT is to monitor key process parameters relevant for emissions to air and water including those given below.\nStream/Location\nParameter(s)\nMonitoring\nFlue-gas from the incineration of waste\nFlow, oxygen content, temperature, pressure, water vapour content\nContinuous measurement\nCombustion chamber\nTemperature\nWaste water from wet FGC\nFlow, pH, temperature\nWaste water from bottom ash treatment plants\nFlow, pH, conductivity\nBAT 4. BAT is to monitor channelled emissions to air with at least the frequency given below and in accordance with EN standards. If EN standards are not available, BAT is to use ISO, national or other international standards that ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality.\nGeneric EN standards for continuous measurements are EN 15267-1, EN 15267-2, EN 15267-3 and EN 14181. EN standards for periodic measurements are given in the table or in the footnotes.\nFor periodic monitoring, the monitoring frequency does not apply where plant operation would be for the sole purpose of performing an emission measurement.\nIf continuous monitoring of N2O is applied, the generic EN standards for continuous measurements apply.\nThe continuous measurement of HF may be replaced by periodic measurements with a minimum frequency of once every six months if the HCl emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable. No EN standard is available for the periodic measurement of HF.\nFor plants incinerating wastes with a proven low and stable mercury content (e.g. mono-streams of waste of a controlled composition), the continuous monitoring of emissions may be replaced by long-term sampling (no EN standard is available for long-term sampling of Hg) or periodic measurements with a minimum frequency of once every six months. In the latter case the relevant standard is EN 13211.\nThe monitoring only applies to the incineration of waste containing brominated flame retardants or to plants using BAT 31(d) with continuous injection of bromine.\nThe monitoring does not apply if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable.\nThe monitoring does not apply where the emissions of dioxin-like PCBs are proven to be less than 0,01 ng WHO-TEQ/Nm3.\nSubstance/Parameter\nProcess\nStandard(s)\nMinimum monitoring frequency\nMonitoring associated with\nNOX\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards\nContinuous\nBAT 29\nNH3\nIncineration of waste when SNCR and/or SCR is used\nGeneric EN standards\nContinuous\nBAT 29\nN2O\nIncineration of waste in fluidised bed furnace\nIncineration of waste when SNCR is operated with urea\nEN 21258\nOnce every year\nBAT 29\nCO\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards\nContinuous\nBAT 29\nSO2\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards\nContinuous\nBAT 27\nHCl\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards\nContinuous\nBAT 27\nHF\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards\nContinuous\nBAT 27\nDust\nBottom ash treatment\nEN 13284-1\nOnce every year\nBAT 26\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards and EN 13284-2\nContinuous\nBAT 25\nMetals and metalloids except mercury (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl, V)\nIncineration of waste\nEN 14385\nOnce every six months\nBAT 25\nHg\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards and EN 14884\nContinuous\nBAT 31\nTVOC\nIncineration of waste\nGeneric EN standards\nContinuous\nBAT 30\nPBDD/F\nIncineration of waste\nNo EN standard available\nOnce every six months\nBAT 30\nPCDD/F\nIncineration of waste\nEN 1948-1, EN 1948-2, EN 1948-3\nOnce every six months for short-term sampling\nBAT 30\nNo EN standard available for long-term sampling,\nEN 1948-2, EN 1948-3\nOnce every month for long-term sampling\nBAT 30\nDioxin-like PCBs\nIncineration of waste\nEN 1948-1, EN 1948-2, EN 1948-4\nOnce every six months for short-term sampling\nBAT 30\nNo EN standard available for long-term sampling,\nEN 1948-2, EN 1948-4\nOnce every month for long-term sampling\nBAT 30\nBenzo[a]pyrene\nIncineration of waste\nNo EN standard available\nOnce every year\nBAT 30\nBAT 5.
