PREFACE 1. Status of this document Preface Unless otherwise stated, references to ‘the Directive’ in this document refer to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and the Council on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (Recast). This document is a working draft of the European IPPC Bureau (of the Commission's Joint Research Centre). It is not an official publication of the European Union and does not necessarily reflect the position of the European Commission. 2. Participants in the information exchange As required in Article 13(3) of the Directive, the Commission has established a forum to assist the work, which is composed of representatives from Member States, the industries concerned and non-governmental organisations promoting environmental protection (Commission Decision of 16 May 2011 establishing a forum for the exchange of information pursuant to Article 13 of the Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (2011/C 146/03), OJ C 146, 17.05.2011, p. 3). Forum members have nominated technical experts constituting the technical working group (TWG) that was the main source of information for drafting this document. The work of the TWG was led by the European IPPC Bureau (of the Commission's Joint Research Centre). 3. Structure and contents of this document Chapters 1 and 2 provide general information on the production of chlor-alkali and on the industrial processes and techniques used within this sector. Chapter 3 provides data and information concerning the environmental performance of installations within the sector in terms of current emissions, consumption and nature of raw materials, water consumption, use of energy and the generation of waste reflecting the situation in installations in operation at the time of writing. Chapter 4 describes in more detail the techniques to prevent or, where this is not practicable, to reduce the environmental impact of operating installations in this sector that were considered in reaching the BAT conclusions. This information includes, where relevant, the environmental performance levels (e.g. emission and consumption levels) which can be achieved by using the techniques, the associated monitoring and the costs and the cross-media issues associated with the techniques. Chapter 5 presents the BAT conclusions as defined in Article 3(12) of the Directive. Chapter 6 presents information on 'emerging techniques' as defined in Article 3(14) of the Directive. WORKING DRAFT IN PROGRESS Concluding remarks and recommendations for future work are presented in Chapter 7. TB/EIPPCB/CAK_Draft_1 December 2011 i
