# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/2031 of 12 November 2019 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions for the food, drink and milk industries, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2019) 7989) (Text with EEA relevance), Division 13.3: Emissions to air

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

BAT 36. In order to prevent or reduce channelled dust emissions to air from beet pulp drying, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
Technique
Description
Applicability
(a)
Use of gaseous fuels
See Section 14.2.
May not be applicable due to the constraints associated with the availability of gaseous fuels.
(b)
Cyclone
Generally applicable.
(c)
Wet scrubber
(d)
Indirect drying (steam drying) of beet pulp
See BAT 35b.
May not be applicable to existing plants due to the need for a complete reconstruction of the energy facilities.
(e)
Solar drying of beet pulp
See BAT 35c.
May not be applicable due to local climatic conditions and/or lack of space.
(f)
Low-temperature (pre)drying of beet pulp
See BAT 35e.
Generally applicable.

BAT 37. In order to reduce channelled SOX emissions to air from high-temperature beet pulp drying (above 500 °C), BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
Technique
Description
Applicability
(a)
Use of natural gas
—
May not be applicable due to the constraints associated with the availability of natural gas.
(b)
Wet scrubber
See Section 14.2.
Generally applicable.
(c)
Use of fuels with low sulphur content
—
Only applicable when natural gas is not available.
Table 31
BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for channelled SOX emissions to air from beet pulp drying in the case of high-temperature drying (above 500 °C) when natural gas is not used
When using exclusively biomass as a fuel, emission levels are expected to be at the lower end of the range.
