EU BAT guidance documents http://eippcb.jrc.es/; Click on Activities

EU working groups, consisting of members from the member countries (experts from authorities and industry) are drafting guidelines, the so called BREFs (BAT Reference notes) on the sectors to be covered by an integrated permit. The guidelines are very comprehensive and will give details of technologies which are considered to be the best to day and will give the emission and consumption levels (in many cases range of emissions depending on the specific technology) that it is possible to achieve by the use of BAT. Pay attention to the fact that the BREFs are guidance documents only. They do not have legal status, they are meant to give guidance to industry, member states and the public on achievable emission and consumption levels when using specified BAT techniques. In every case the local conditions shall be taken into account when deciding the emission limit values and other conditions. In specific cases, the emission limit values might be higher or lower. Environmental quality standards in water and air might mean more strict values – or maybe zero emission/discharge. And there could be cases where the emission limit values could be less strict – to comply with the “best for environment as a whole” principle.

The BAT guidance documents will always have to be taken into account by the operator and by the authorities. The operator will have to compare his environmental performance to the BAT levels. The executive summary of the BAT notes is giving the BAT values. The BAT techniques are described in a later chapter. In the preface it is explained how the document shall be used and interpreted.
