ANNEXBAT CONCLUSIONS FOR THE NON-FERROUS METALS INDUSTRIES

1.1.GENERAL BAT CONCLUSIONS

1.1.8.NOX emissions

BAT 13.

In order to prevent NOX emissions to air from a pyrometallurgical process, BAT is to use one of the techniques given below.

Technique17

a

Low-NOX burners

b

Oxy-fuel burners

c

Flue-gas recirculation (back through the burner to reduce the temperature of the flame) in the case of oxy-fuel burners

Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.

The associated monitoring is in BAT 10.
