Abstract:
The Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document for the Smitheries and Foundries Industry (SF BREF) 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 Directive. The BREF for Smitheries and Foundries covers smitheries with hammers the energy of which exceeds 50 kilojoule per hammer, where the calorific power used exceeds 20 MW, ferrous metal foundries with a production capacity exceeding 20 tonnes per day, non-ferrous metal foundries, with a melting capacity exceeding 4 tonnes per day for lead and cadmium or 20 tonnes per day for all other metals and a number of other activities specified in the Scope of the document. The BREF consists of six main chapters. Chapter 1 provides general information, the applied processes and techniques and the current consumption and emission levels for Smitheries. Chapter 2 provides general information, the applied processes and techniques and the current consumption and emission levels for Foundries. Chapter 3 provides information on techniques to consider in the determination of BAT for smitheries and foundries. Chapter 4 presents the BAT conclusions as defined in Article 3(12) of the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU). Chapter 5 provides information on emerging techniques. Concluding remarks and recommendations for future work are presented in Chapter 6.
