This is a legislation item that originated from the EU

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.

Changes to Legislation

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.

1.3.2.1. Air emissions U.K.
1.3.2.1.1. Dust, PAH and fluoride emissions from the paste plant U.K.
BAT 58.In order to reduce dust emissions to air from a paste plant (removing coke dust from operations such as coke storage and grinding), BAT is to use a bag filter.U.K.

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 7.

BAT 59.In order to reduce dust and PAH emissions to air from a paste plant (hot pitch storage, paste mixing, cooling and forming), BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.U.K.
a

Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.

Techniquea
aDry scrubber using coke as the adsorbent agent, with or without precooling, followed by a bag filter
bRegenerative thermal oxidiser
cCatalytic thermal oxidiser

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 7.

1.3.2.1.2. Dust, sulphur dioxide, PAH and fluoride emissions from the baking plant U.K.
BAT 60.In order to reduce dust, sulphur dioxide, PAH and fluoride emissions to air from a baking plant in an anode production plant integrated with a primary aluminium smelter, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.U.K.
a

Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.

TechniqueaApplicability
aUse of raw materials and fuels containing a low amount of sulphurGenerally applicable for reducing SO2 emissions
bDry scrubber using alumina as the adsorbent agent followed by a bag filterGenerally applicable for reducing dust, PAH and fluoride emissions
cWet scrubber

Applicability for reducing dust, SO2, PAH and fluoride emissions may be limited in the following cases:

  • very high off-gas flow rates (due to the significant amounts of waste and waste water generated)

  • in arid areas (due to the large volume of water necessary and the need for waste water treatment)

dRegenerative thermal oxidiser in combination with a dust abatement systemGenerally applicable for reducing dust and PAH emissions.

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 8.

BAT 61.In order to reduce dust, PAH and fluoride emissions to air from a baking plant in a stand-alone anode production plant, BAT is to use a pre-filtration unit and a regenerative thermal oxidiser followed by a dry scrubber (e.g. lime bed).U.K.

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 9.

Timeline of Changes

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.
