ANNEX U.K. BAT CONCLUSIONS FOR THE NON-FERROUS METALS INDUSTRIES

1.2. BAT CONCLUSIONS FOR COPPER PRODUCTION U.K.

1.2.3. Air emissions U.K.

BAT 24. In order to reduce secondary emissions to air from furnaces and auxiliary devices in primary copper production and to optimise the performance of the abatement system, BAT is to collect, mix and treat secondary emissions in a centralised off-gas cleaning system. U.K.

Description U.K.

Secondary emissions from various sources are collected, mixed, and treated in a single centralised off-gas cleaning system, designed to effectively treat the pollutants present in each of the flows. Care is taken not to mix streams which are not chemically compatible and to avoid undesirable chemical reactions among the different collected flows.

Applicability U.K.

The applicability may be limited for existing plants by their design and layout.
