In order to reduce channelled emissions of HCl, HF and SO2 to air from the incineration of waste, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.\nTechnique\nDescription\nApplicability\n(a)\nWet scrubber\nSee Section 2.2\nThere may be applicability restrictions due to low water availability, e.g. in arid areas.\n(b)\nSemi-wet absorber\nSee Section 2.2\nGenerally applicable.\n(c)\nDry sorbent injection\nSee Section 2.2\nGenerally applicable.\n(d)\nDirect desulphurisation\nSee Section 2.2.\nUsed for partial abatement of acid gas emissions upstream of other techniques.\nOnly applicable to fluidised bed furnaces.\n(e)\nBoiler sorbent injection\nSee Section 2.2.\nUsed for partial abatement of acid gas emissions upstream of other techniques.\nGenerally applicable.\nBAT 28. In order to reduce channelled peak emissions of HCl, HF and SO2 to air from the incineration of waste while limiting the consumption of reagents and the amount of residues generated from dry sorbent injection and semi-wet absorbers, BAT is to use technique (a) or both of the techniques given below.\nTechnique\nDescription\nApplicability\n(a)\nOptimised and automated reagent dosage\nThe use of continuous HCl and/or SO2 measurements (and/or of other parameters that may prove useful for this purpose) upstream and/or downstream of the FGC system for the optimisation of the automated reagent dosage.\nGenerally applicable.\n(b)\nRecirculation of reagents\nThe recirculation of a proportion of the collected FGC solids to reduce the amount of unreacted reagent(s) in the residues.\nThe technique is particularly relevant in the case of FGC techniques operating with a high stoichiometric excess.\nGenerally applicable to new plants.\nApplicable to existing plants within the constraints of the size of the bag filter.\nTable 5\nBAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for channelled emissions to air of HCl, HF and SO2 from the incineration of waste\nThe lower end of the BAT-AEL range can be achieved when using a wet scrubber; the higher end of the range may be associated with the use of dry sorbent injection.\n(mg/Nm3)\nParameter\nBAT-AEL\nAveraging period\nNew plant\nExisting plant\nHCl\n< 2–6\n< 2–8\nDaily average\nHF\n< 1\n< 1\nDaily average or average over the sampling period\nSO2\n5–30\n5–40\nDaily average\nThe associated monitoring is in BAT 4.",
