Call for Evidence : ​Non Waste Anaerobic Digestion over 100 tonnes per day: Permit technical requirements ​

Closes 9 Jan 2026

BAT 8

BAT is to monitor channelled emissions to air with at least the frequency given below, and in accordance with EN standards. If EN standards are not available, BAT is to use ISO, national or other international standards that ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality.

For each parameter below, confirm the measurements in place for your particular activity, the equipment used and where these measurements are undertaken. 

References

(1) Monitoring frequencies may be reduced if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable.
(2) The monitoring only applies when the substance concerned is identified as relevant in the waste gas stream based on the inventory mentioned in
BAT 3.
(3) Instead of EN 1948-1, sampling may also be carried out according to CEN/TS 1948-5.
(4) The odour concentration may be monitored instead.   
(5) The monitoring of NH3 and H2S can be used as an alternative to the monitoring of the odour concentration.
(6) The monitoring only applies when solvent is used for cleaning the contaminated equipment.
