  "text": "Technique\nDescription\nApplicability\n(a)\nProcess-integrated VOC oxidation\nThe air/solvent mix resulting from solvent evaporation during the repeated enamel curing process is treated in a catalytic oxidiser (see BAT 15 (g)) integrated in the curing oven/dryer. The waste heat from the catalytic oxidiser is used in the drying process to heat up the circulating airflow and/or as process heat for other purposes within the plant.\nGenerally applicable.\n(b)\nSolvent-free lubricants\nSolvent-free lubricants are applied as follows:\nthe wire is drawn through a lubricant-wetted felt; or\na lubricant-impregnated filament is run with the wire and the paraffin wax melts due to the residual heat of the wire and the frictional heat.\nApplicability may be limited due to product quality requirements or specifications, e.g. diameter.\n(c)\nSelf-lubricating coatings\nA solvent-containing lubrication step is avoided by using a coating system that also contains lubricant (a special wax).\nApplicability may be limited due to product quality requirements or specifications.\n(d)\nHigh-solids enamel coating\nUse of enamel coating with a solids content of up to 45 %. In the case of fine wires (with a diameter less than or equal to 0.1 mm), the solids content is up to 30 %.\nTable 20\nBAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for total emissions of VOCs from the manufacture of winding wire\nParameter\nProduct type\nUnit\nBAT-AEL(Yearly average)\nTotal VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balance\nCoating of winding wire with an average diameter greater than 0,1 mm\ng VOCs per kg of coated wire\n1–3,3\nThe associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.\nTable 21\nBAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for VOC emissions in waste gases from the manufacture of winding wire\nParameter\nUnit\nBAT-AEL(Daily average or average over the sampling period)\nTVOC\nmg C/Nm3\n5–40\nThe associated monitoring is given in BAT 11.",
