Section 2: Ferrous Metals processing (forming) sector - Specific Questions

Based on a screening process involving input from TWG members, the BATC which could result in the most significant changes in emissions or costs to industry were identified.

The BATC identified through this process are detailed on the following page, along with specific questions on each of these. 

6. [BAT 35] & [BAT 37] Are the techniques, BAT-AELs, and monitoring requirements appropriate for the industry to reduce the following emissions to air from heating?

Emissions to air from heating 

BAT requires the use of techniques to prevent or reduce emissions to air from heating during processing, the monitoring of channelled emissions and compliance with BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs). 

  • BAT 35 covers techniques and BAT-AELs to reduce emissions of dust 

  • BAT 37 covers techniques and BAT-AELs to reduce emissions of NOx 

  • BAT 6 covers the monitoring requirements
