Based on the survey of emission sources in Module 1 of this project, possibilities for emission reduction were assessed. For new installations, best available technique (BAT) for each potential emission sources are suggested. For most of the major emission sources BAT will be the recovery of the hydrocarbon containing waste gases.
Economy is also an element of BAT. For facilities in operation, cost of rebuilding to what is BAT for new installations could be substantial. Since cost of such modifications are governed by conditions on the individual installations, BAT for installations in operation could vary significantly from facility to facility. A general scheme of BAT for installations in operation can therefore not be proposed. If such facilities will be rebuilt to meet the proposed BAT solutions of new installations, it is recommended to prioritize the measures with the lowest abatement cost.
