Abstract: Determining the best available technology (BAT) that is economically viable is indispensable in managing industrial wastewater discharging facilities. In this study, a BAT evaluation tool was applied to a case study of the leather tanning and finishing industry in South Korea. In examining the evaluation, the following factors and flows were considered: (1) information on source characterization, (2) selection of candidate technology, (3) analysis of regulatory compliance, (4) assessment of environmental factors (non water quality factors), (5) assessment of economic feasibility, (6) assessment of technical factors, and (7) selection of the BAT.
