# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2009 of 22 June 2020 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions, for surface treatment using organic solvents including preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals (notified under document C(2020) 4050) (Text with EEA relevance), Division: SCOPE

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

These BAT conclusions concern the following activities specified in Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU:
6.7: 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.
6.10: Preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals with a production capacity exceeding 75 m3 per day other than exclusively treating against sapstain.
6.11: 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.
These 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.
These BAT conclusions do not address the following:
For surface treatment of substances, objects or products using organic solvents:
Waterproofing 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).
Printing, sizing and impregnation of textiles. This may be covered by the BAT conclusions for the textiles industry (TXT).
Lamination of wood-based panels.
Conversion of rubber.
Manufacturing of coating mixtures, varnishes, paints, inks, semiconductors, adhesives or pharmaceutical products.
On-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.
For preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals:
Chemical modification and hydrophobisation (e.g. using resins) of wood and wood products.
Sapstain treatment of wood and wood products.
Ammonia treatment of wood and wood products.
On-site combustion plants. These may be covered by the BAT conclusions for large combustion plants (LCP) or by Directive 2015/2193/EU.
Other BAT conclusions and reference documents which may be of relevance for the activities covered by these BAT conclusions are the following:
Economics and Cross-Media Effects (ECM).
Emissions from Storage (EFS).
Energy Efficiency (ENE).
Waste Treatment (WT).
Large Combustion Plants (LCP).
Surface Treatment of Metals and Plastics (STM).
Monitoring of Emissions to Air and Water from IED Installations (ROM).
