  "text": "Technique\nDescription\nApplicability\nManagement techniques\n(a)\nEnergy efficiency plan\nAn energy efficiency plan is part of the EMS (see BAT 1) and entails defining and calculating the specific energy consumption of the activity, setting key performance indicators on an annual basis (e.g. MWh/tonne of product) and planning the periodic improvement targets and related actions. The plan is adapted to the specificities of the plant in terms of process(es) carried out, materials, products, etc.\nThe level of detail and nature of the energy efficiency plan and of the energy balance record will generally be related to the nature, scale and complexity of the installation and the types of energy sources used. It may not be applicable if the STS activity is carried out within a larger installation, provided that the energy efficiency plan and the energy balance record of the larger installation sufficiently cover the STS activity.\n(b)\nEnergy balance record\nThe drawing up once every year of an energy balance record which provides a breakdown of the energy consumption and generation (including energy export) by the type of source (e.g. electricity, fossil fuels, renewable energy, imported heat and/or cooling). This includes:\n(i) defining the energy boundary of the STS activity;\n(ii) information on energy consumption in terms of delivered energy;\n(iii) information on energy exported from the plant;\n(iv) energy flow information (e.g. Sankey diagrams or energy balances) showing how the energy is used throughout the process.\nThe energy balance record is adapted to the specificities of the plant in terms of process(es) carried out, materials, etc.\nProcess-related techniques\n(c)\nThermal insulation of tanks and vats containing cooled or heated liquids, and of combustion and steam systems\nThis may be achieved for example by:\nusing double-skinned tanks;\nusing pre-insulated tanks;\napplying insulation to combustion equipment, steam pipes and pipes containing cooled or heated liquids.\nGenerally applicable.\n(d)\nHeat recovery by cogeneration – CHP (combined heat and power) or CCHP (combined cooling, heat and power)\nRecovery of heat (mainly from the steam system) for producing hot water/steam to be used in industrial processes/activities. CCHP (also called tri-generation) is a cogeneration system with an absorption chiller that uses low-grade heat to produce chilled water.\nApplicability may be restricted by the plant layout, the characteristics of the hot gas streams (e.g. flow rate, temperature) or the lack of a suitable heat demand.\n(e)\nHeat recovery from hot gas streams\nEnergy recovery from hot gas streams (e.g. from dryers or cooling zones), e.g. by their recirculation as process air, through the use of heat exchangers, in processes, or externally.\n(f)\nFlow adjustment of process air and off-gases\nAdjustment of the flow of process air and off-gases according to the need. This includes reduction of air ventilation during idle operation or maintenance.\nGenerally applicable.\n(g)\nSpray booth off-gas recirculation\nCapture and recirculation of the off-gas from the spray booth in combination with efficient paint overspray separation. Energy consumption is less than in the case of fresh air use.\nApplicability may be restricted by health and safety considerations.\n(h)\nOptimised circulation of warm air in a large-volume curing booth using an air turbulator\nAir is blown into a single part of the curing booth and distributed using an air turbulator which turns the laminar airflow into the desired turbulent flow.\nOnly applicable to spray coating sectors.\nTable 3\nBAT-associated environmental performance levels (BAT-AEPLs) for specific energy consumption\nThe BAT-AEPL may not apply where the coil coating line is part of a larger manufacturing installation (e.g. steelworks) or for combilines.\nSector\nProduct type\nUnit\nBAT-AEPL(Yearly average)\nCoating of vehicles\nPassenger cars\nMWh/vehicle coated\n0,5–1,3\nVans\n0,8–2\nTruck cabins\n1–2\nTrucks\n0,3–0,5\nCoil coating\nSteel and/or aluminium coil\nkWh/m2 of coated coil\n0,2–2,5\nCoating of textiles, foils and paper\nCoating of textiles with polyurethane and/or polyvinyl chloride\nkWh/m2 of coated surface\n1–5\nManufacturing of winding wires\nWires with an average diameter > 0,1 mm\nkWh/kg of coated wire\n< 5\nCoating and printing of metal packaging\nAll product types\nkWh/m2 of coated surface\n0,3–1,5\nHeatset web offset printing\nAll product types\nWh/m2 of printed area\n4–14\nFlexography and non-publication rotogravure printing\nAll product types\nWh/m2 of printed area\n50–350\nPublication rotogravure printing\nAll product types\nWh/m2 of printed area\n10–30\nThe associated monitoring is given in BAT 19 (b).",
