Translation of "Brûleur pour charbon pulvérisé " (French → English) :

The BAT-associated emission level for dust is 43. BAT for storage and handling of pulverised coal is to prevent or reduce diffuse dust emissions by using one or a combination of the following techniques:

Furnace burners for liquid fuel, for pulverised solid fuel or for gas; mechanical stokers, including their mechanical grates, mechanical ash dischargers and similar appliances

All processes directly or indirectly linked to the process units blast furnace, hot metal treatment units, blast furnace blowers, blast furnace hot stoves, basic oxygen furnace, secondary metallurgy units, vacuum ladles, casting units (including cutting), slag treatment unit, burden preparation, BF gas treatment unit, dedusting units, scrap pre-heating, coal drying for PCI, vessels preheating stands, casting ingots preheating stands, compressed air production, dust treatment unit (briquetting), sludge treatment unit (briquetting), steam injection in BF unit, steam generation plant, converter BOF gas cooling and miscellaneous are included

Quantities of coking coal and/or bituminous coal (generally referred to as PCI) and coke oven coke transformed in blast furnaces.

Although the effects are technology-specific, Commission analyses show that some of the envisaged technologies could reduce NOx and SO2 emissions significantly (by around 80% and 95% respectively in comparison with traditional pulverized coal power plants).

It may also be noted that, in the powdered coal injection sector alone, the share of the spin-off attributable to ECSC research had totalled ECU 400 million by the end of 1990.
