Division 1.3 BAT conclusions for the coating of other metal and plastic surfaces
United Kingdom
The emission levels given below for coating of other metal and plastic surfaces are associated with the general BAT conclusions described in Section 1.1. The emission levels given below may not apply where metal and/or plastic automotive components are coated in a vehicle coating plant and these emissions are included in the calculation of the total VOC emissions for the coating of vehicles (see Section 1.2).
Table 9
BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for total emissions of VOCs from the coating of other metal and plastic surfaces
| Parameter | Process | Unit | BAT-AEL(Yearly average) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balance | Coating of metal surfaces | kg VOCs per kg of solid mass input | < 0,05–0,2 |
| Coating of plastic surfaces | < 0,05–0,3 |
The associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.
As an alternative to the BAT-AELs in Table 9, the BAT-AELs in both Table 10 and Table 11 may be used.
Table 10
BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for fugitive emissions of VOCs from the coating of other metal and plastic surfaces
| Parameter | Unit | BAT-AEL(Yearly average) |
|---|---|---|
| Fugitive VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balance | Percentage (%) of the solvent input | < 1–10 |
The associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.
Table 11
BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for VOC emissions in waste gases from the coating of other metal and plastic surfaces
| The upper end of the BAT-AEL range is 35 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. | ||
| Parameter | Unit | BAT-AEL(Daily average or average over the sampling period) |
|---|---|---|
| TVOC | mg C/Nm3 | 1–20f1 f2 |
The associated monitoring is given in BAT 11.
