Publication metadata
The Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document (BREF) for Common Waste Gas Management and Treatment Systems in the Chemical Sector is part of a series of documents presenting the results of an exchange of information between EU Member States, the industries concerned, non-governmental organisations promoting environmental protection, and the Commission, to draw up, review and – where necessary – update BAT reference documents as required by Article 13(1) of Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU. This document is published by the European Commission pursuant to Article 13(6) of the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU. The BREF for Common Waste Gas Management and Treatment Systems in the Chemical Sector covers the management and treatment of channelled and diffuse emissions to air arising from a variety of sources associated with the chemical production processes listed in points 4.1 to 4.6 of Annex I to the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU. The BREF consists of six main chapters. General information of the chemical industry in Europe (industrial and economic development, geographical distribution) and the relevant air pollutants emitted from the chemical sector are presented in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives an overview of the current emission levels related to channelled and diffuse air emissions from the chemical production processes covered by the present BREF. Chapter 3 outlines the general techniques to be considered in the determination of BAT for reducing channelled and diffuse emissions to air (i.e. techniques widely applied) in chemical production processes. Chapter 4 presents the BAT conclusions as defined in Article 3(12) of the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU), including BAT that apply generally to the chemical sector covered by this BREF and, when appropriate, sector-specific BAT. Chapter 5 does not include any information on emerging techniques (no exchange of information took place on this topic). Concluding remarks and recommendations for future work are presented in Chapter 6.
