# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/2010 of 12 November 2019 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for waste incineration (notified under document C(2019) 7987) (Text with EEA relevance), Division: Emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AELs) for emissions to air

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

Emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AELs) for emissions to air given in these BAT conclusions refer to concentrations, expressed as mass of emitted substances per volume of flue-gas or of extracted air under the following standard conditions: dry gas at a temperature of 273,15 K and a pressure of 101,3 kPa, and expressed in mg/Nm3, µg/Nm3, ng I-TEQ/Nm3 or ng WHO-TEQ/Nm3.
The reference oxygen levels used to express BAT-AELs in this document are shown in the table below.
Activity
Reference oxygen level (OR)
Incineration of waste
11 dry vol-%
Bottom ash treatment
No correction for the oxygen level
The equation for calculating the emission concentration at the reference oxygen level is:
Where:
ER emission concentration at the reference oxygen level OR;
OR reference oxygen level in vol-%;
EM measured emission concentration;
OM measured oxygen level in vol-%.
For averaging periods, the following definitions apply:
For any parameter where, due to sampling or analytical limitations, 30-minute sampling/measurement and/or an average of three consecutive measurements is inappropriate, a more suitable procedure may be employed. For PCDD/F and dioxin-like PCBs, one sampling period of 6 to 8 hours is used in the case of short-term sampling.
Type of measurement
Averaging period
Definition
Continuous
Half-hourly average
Average value over a period of 30 minutes
Daily average
Average over a period of one day based on valid half-hourly averages
Periodic
Average over the sampling period
Average value of three consecutive measurements of at least 30 minutes each
Long-term sampling period
Value over a sampling period of 2 to 4 weeks
When waste is co-incinerated together with non-waste fuels, the BAT-AELs for emissions to air given in these BAT conclusions apply to the entire flue-gas volume generated.
