After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Commission Implementing Decision of 26 September 2014 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the production of pulp, paper and board (notified under document C(2014) 6750) (Text with EEA relevance) (2014/687/EU), Division BAT 19..
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
Technique | Description | Applicability | |
---|---|---|---|
a | Modified cooking before bleaching | See Section 1.7.2.1 | Generally applicable |
b | Oxygen delignification before bleaching | ||
c | Closed brown stock screening and efficient brown stock washing | ||
d | Partial process water recycling in the bleach plant | Water recycling may be limited due to incrustation in bleaching | |
e | Effective spill monitoring and containment with a suitable recovery system | Generally applicable | |
f | Maintaining sufficient black liquor evaporation and recovery boiler capacity to cope with peak loads | Generally applicable | |
g | Stripping the contaminated (foul) condensates and reusing the condensates in the process |
See Table 1 and Table 2. These BAT-associated emission levels are not applicable to dissolving kraft pulp mills.
The reference waste water flow for kraft mills is set out in BAT 5.
BAT-associated emission levels for the direct waste water discharge to receiving waters from a bleached kraft pulp mill
a The BAT-AEL ranges refer to market pulp production and the pulp production part of integrated mills (emissions from papermaking are not included). | |
b A compact biological waste water treatment plant can result in slightly higher emission levels. | |
c The upper end of the range refers to mills using eucalyptus from regions with higher levels of phosphorus (e.g. Iberian eucalyptus). | |
d Applicable for mills using chlorine containing bleaching chemicals. | |
e For mills producing pulp with high strength, stiffness and high purity properties (e.g. for liquid packaging board and LWC), emissions level of AOX up to 0,25 kg/ADt may occur. | |
Parameter | Yearly averagekg/ADta |
---|---|
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) | 7 – 20 |
Total suspended solids (TSS) | 0,3 – 1,5 |
Total nitrogen | 0,05 – 0,25b |
Total phosphorus | 0,01 – 0,03b Eucalyptus: 0,02 – 0,11 kg/ADtc |
Adsorbable organically bound halogens (AOX)d e | 0 – 0,2 |
BAT-associated emission levels for the direct waste water discharge to receiving waters from an unbleached kraft pulp mill
a The BAT-AEL ranges refer to market pulp production and the pulp production part of integrated mills (emissions from papermaking are not included). | |
b A compact biological waste water treatment plant can result in slightly higher emission levels. | |
Parameter | Yearly averagekg/ADta |
---|---|
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) | 2,5 – 8 |
Total suspended solids (TSS) | 0,3 – 1,0 |
Total nitrogen | 0,1 – 0,2b |
Total phosphorus | 0,01 – 0,02b |
The BOD concentration in the treated effluents is expected to be low (around 25 mg/l as a 24-hour composite sample).

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
