In order to reduce channelled emissions of organic compounds to air from meat smoking, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.\nTechnique\nDescription\n(a)\nAdsorption\nOrganic compounds are removed from a waste gas stream by retention on a solid surface (typically activated carbon).\n(b)\nThermal oxidation\nSee Section 14.2.\n(c)\nWet scrubber\nSee Section 14.2.\nAn electrostatic precipitator is commonly used as a pretreatment step.\n(d)\nUse of purified smoke\nSmoke generated from purified primary smoke condensates is used to smoke the product in a smoke chamber.\nTable 18\nBAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for channelled TVOC emissions to air from a smoke chamber\nThe lower end of the range is typically achieved when using adsorption or thermal oxidation.\nThe BAT-AEL does not apply when the TVOC emission load is below 500 g/h.\nParameter\nUnit\nBAT-AEL(average over the sampling period)\nTVOC\nmg/Nm3\n3-50\nThe associated monitoring is given in BAT 5.",
