BAT 23

In order to use energy efficiently, BAT is to use both of the techniques given below.

Applicable – where waste treatment is referenced, this should be regarded as non-waste treatment

 

i. energy efficiency plan:

an energy efficiency plan entails defining and calculating the specific energy consumption of the activity (or activities), setting key performance indicators on an annual basis (for example, specific energy consumption expressed in kWh/tonne of waste processed) and planning periodic improvement targets and related actions. The plan is adapted to the specificities of the waste treatment in terms of process(es) carried out, waste stream(s) treated, etc.

Compliance Status:

Upload any supporting information. Please include the Permit number and installation name in the header.

Please make sure your file is under 25MB
ii. energy balance record: an energy balance record provides a breakdown of the energy consumption and generation (including exportation) by the type of source (i.e. electricity, gas, conventional liquid fuels, conventional solid fuels, and waste). This includes:

(i) information on energy consumption in terms of delivered energy;
(ii) information on energy exported from the installation;
(iii) energy flow information (e.g. Sankey diagrams or energy balances) showing how the energy is used throughout the process.
The energy balance record is adapted to the specificities of the waste treatment in terms of process(es) carried out, waste stream(s) treated, etc.
