Division 1.12 BAT conclusions for flexography and non-publication rotogravure printing

United Kingdom

The emission levels for flexography and non-publication rotogravure printing given below are associated with the general BAT conclusions given in Section 1.1.

Table 28

BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for total emissions of VOCs from flexography and non-publication rotogravure printing

Parameter	Unit	BAT-AEL(Yearly average)
Total VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balance	kg VOCs per kg of solid mass input	< 0,1–0,3

The associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.

As an alternative to the BAT-AEL in Table 28, the BAT-AELs in both Table 29 and Table 30 may be used.

Table 29

BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for fugitive emissions of VOCs from flexography and non-publication rotogravure printing

Parameter	Unit	BAT-AEL(Yearly average)
Fugitive VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balance	Percentage (%) of the solvent input	< 1–12

The associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.

Table 30

BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for VOC emissions in waste gases from flexography and non-publication rotogravure printing

Parameter	Unit	BAT-AEL(Daily average or average over the sampling period)
The upper end of the BAT-AEL range is 50 mg C/Nm3 if techniques are used which allow the reuse/recycling of the recovered solvent.
For plants using BAT 16 (c) in combination with an off-gas treatment technique, an additional BAT-AEL of less than 50 mg C/Nm3 applies to the waste gas of the concentrator.
TVOC	mg C/Nm³	1–20^f1 ^f2

The associated monitoring is given in BAT 11.
