Division 1.14 BAT conclusions for the coating of wooden surfaces

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The emission levels for the coating of wooden surfaces given below are associated with the general BAT conclusions given in Section 1.1.

Table 33

BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for total emissions of VOCs from the coating of wooden surfaces

ParameterCoated substratesUnitBAT-AEL(Yearly average)
Total VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balanceFlat substrateskg VOCs per kg of solid mass input< 0.1
Other than flat substrates< 0.25

The associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.

As an alternative to the BAT-AELs in Table 33, the BAT-AELs in both Table 34 and Table 35 may be used.

Table 34

BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for fugitive emissions of VOCs from the coating of wooden surfaces

ParameterUnitBAT-AEL(Yearly average)
Fugitive VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balancePercentage (%) of the solvent input< 10

The associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.

Table 35

BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for VOC emissions in waste gases from the coating of wooden surfaces

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.

ParameterUnitBAT-AEL(Daily average or average over the sampling period)
TVOCmg C/Nm3 5-20f1

The associated monitoring is given in BAT 11.
