Chapter 1111 CONCLUDING REMARKS11.1 Quality of the information exchangeTiming of the workThe information exchange on Best Available Techniques for the Manufacture of Large VolumeInorganic Chemicals – Ammonia, Acids and Fertilisers was carried out from 2001 to 2006.Table 11.1 shows the milestones of the work.Kick-off meeting 29 – 31 October 2001First draft March 2003Second draft August 2004Final Technical Working Group meeting 6 – 10 September 2004Follow-up meeting of final meeting 07 October 2004on ammonia, HF 18 – 19 January 2006Meetings tofinalise the workon H 3 PO 4 , SSP/TSP, NPK, H 2 SO 4 02 – 05 May 2006on AN/CAN, urea, HNO 3 12 – 14 June 2006Table 11.1: Timing of the work on the BREF LVIC-AAFSources of information and development of this documentSome reports were elaborated on purpose to provide targeted information for the developmentof this document. EFMA’s booklets “Best Available Techniques for Pollution Prevention andControl in the European Fertilizer Industry” and the reports submitted by Austria, Germany, theNetherlands, ESA and Eurofluor can be considered building blocks for this document.This document was developed based on about 600 comments to the first draft and about 1100comments to the second draft.Level of consensusThe information exchange process did not yield a second draft document developed enough toenable the finalisation of the work based on the TWG’s comments and the final TWG meetingon a sufficient quality level. For this reason, a series of additional meetings was necessary inorder to successfully establish a final draft. Finally, a high degree of consensus was reached.Two split views were recorded (see Sections 3.5 and 6.5).Large Volume Inorganic Chemicals – Ammonia, Acids and Fertilisers 399
