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.

1.7.2.2. Channelled dust emissions U.K.
BAT 154.In order to reduce dust and metal emissions to air from the storage, handling and transport of solid materials, and from pretreatment operations such as metering, mixing, blending and degreasing, and from tapping, casting and packaging, BAT is to use a bag filter.U.K.

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 46.

BAT 155.In order to reduce dust and metal emissions to air from crushing, briquetting, pelletising and sintering, BAT is to use a bag filter or a bag filter in combination with other techniques.U.K.
Applicability U.K.

The applicability of a bag filter may be limited in the case of low ambient temperatures (– 20 °C to – 40 °C) and high humidity of the off-gases, as well as for the crushing of CaSi due to safety concerns (i.e. explosivity).

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 46.

BAT 156.In order to reduce dust and metal emissions to air from an open or a semi-closed submerged arc furnace, BAT is to use a bag filter.U.K.

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 46.

BAT 157.In order to reduce dust and metal emissions to air from a closed submerged arc furnace or a closed plasma dust process, BAT is to use one of the techniques given below.U.K.
a

Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.

TechniqueaApplicability
aWet scrubber in combination with an ESPGenerally applicable
bBag filterGenerally applicable unless safety concerns exist related to the CO and H2 content in the exhaust gases

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 46.

BAT 158.In order to reduce dust and metal emissions to air from a refractory-lined crucible for the production of ferro-molybdenum and ferro-vanadium, BAT is to use a bag filter.U.K.

BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 46.

Table 46

BAT-associated emission levels for dust emissions to air from ferro-alloys production

a

As an average over the sampling period.

b

As a daily average or as an average over the sampling period.

c

The upper end of the range can be up to 10 mg/Nm3 for cases where a bag filter cannot be used.

d

The upper end of the range may be up to 15 mg/Nm3 for the production of FeMn, SiMn, CaSi due to the sticky nature of the dust (caused e.g. by its hygroscopic capacity or chemical characteristics) affecting the efficiency of the bag filter.

e

Dust emissions are expected to be towards the lower end of the range when emissions of metals are above the following levels: 1 mg/Nm3 for lead, 0,05 mg/Nm3 for cadmium, 0,05 mg/Nm3 for chromiumVI, 0,05 mg/Nm3 for thallium.

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.
