  "text": "These BAT conclusions concern the following activities specified in Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU:\n6.7: Surface treatment of substances, objects or products using organic solvents, in particular for dressing, printing, coating, degreasing, waterproofing, sizing, painting, cleaning or impregnating, with an organic solvent consumption capacity of more than 150 kg per hour or more than 200 tonnes per year.\n6.10: Preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals with a production capacity exceeding 75 m3 per day other than exclusively treating against sapstain.\n6.11: Independently operated treatment of waste water not covered by Directive 91/271/EEC provided that the main pollutant load originates from activities specified in point 6.7 or 6.10 of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU.\nThese BAT conclusions also cover the combined treatment of waste water from different origins provided that the main pollutant load originates from the activities specified in point 6.7 or 6.10 of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU and that the waste water treatment is not covered by Council Directive 91/271/EEC.\nThese BAT conclusions do not address the following:\nFor surface treatment of substances, objects or products using organic solvents:\nWaterproofing of textiles by means other than the use of a solvent-based continuous film. This may be covered by the BAT conclusions for the textiles industry (TXT).\nPrinting, sizing and impregnation of textiles. This may be covered by the BAT conclusions for the textiles industry (TXT).\nLamination of wood-based panels.\nConversion of rubber.\nManufacturing of coating mixtures, varnishes, paints, inks, semiconductors, adhesives or pharmaceutical products.\nOn-site combustion plants unless the hot gases generated are used for direct contact heating, drying or any other treatment of objects or materials. These may be covered by the BAT conclusions for large combustion plants (LCP) or by Directive 2015/2193/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council.\nFor preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals:\nChemical modification and hydrophobisation (e.g. using resins) of wood and wood products.\nSapstain treatment of wood and wood products.\nAmmonia treatment of wood and wood products.\nOn-site combustion plants. These may be covered by the BAT conclusions for large combustion plants (LCP) or by Directive 2015/2193/EU.\nOther BAT conclusions and reference documents which may be of relevance for the activities covered by these BAT conclusions are the following:\nEconomics and Cross-Media Effects (ECM).\nEmissions from Storage (EFS).\nEnergy Efficiency (ENE).\nWaste Treatment (WT).\nLarge Combustion Plants (LCP).\nSurface Treatment of Metals and Plastics (STM).\nMonitoring of Emissions to Air and Water from IED Installations (ROM).",
