Commission Implementing Decision of 26 March 2013 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions for the production of cement, lime and magnesium oxide (notified under document C(2013) 1728) (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/163/EU) (c. 163)

ANNEX U.K. BAT CONCLUSIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CEMENT, LIME AND MAGNESIUM OXIDE

BAT CONCLUSIONS U.K.

1.2 BAT conclusions for the cement industry U.K.

1.2.5 Dust emissions U.K.

1.2.5.4 Dust emissions from cooling and milling processes U.K.

18. In order to reduce dust emissions from the flue-gases of cooling and milling processes, BAT is to use dry flue-gas cleaning with a filter. U.K.

a A description of the techniques is given in Section 1.5.1
	Techniquea	Applicability
a	Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs)	Generally applicable to clinker coolers and cement mills.
b	Fabric filters	Generally applicable to clinker coolers and mills
c	Hybrid filters	Applicable to clinker coolers and cement mills.

BAT-associated emission levels U.K.

The BAT-AEL for dust emissions from the flue-gases of cooling and milling processes is <10 – 20 mg/Nm³, as the daily average value or average over the sampling period (spot measurements for at least half an hour). When applying fabric filters or new or upgraded ESPs, the lower level is achieved.
