2. BAT is to condense the exhaust air from spinning streets to recover CS2 and recycle it
back into the process (see Section 12.7.2)
3. BAT is to recover CS2 from exhaust air streams through adsorption on activated
carbon (see Section 12.7.3)
Depending on the concentration of H2S in the exhaust air, different technologies are available
for the adsorptive recovery of CS2.
Depending on the mass flows and concentrations, there are a number of different processes
available to oxidise sulphur containing exhaust gases.
BAT is to remove sulphate as Na2SO4 from the waste water. The by-product is economically
valuable and sold.
7. BAT is to use anaerobic sulphate reduction techniques for sensitive waterbodies (see
Section 12.7.7)
8. BAT is to use fluidised bed incinerators to burn non-hazardous wastes (see Section
12.7.8) and recover the heat for the production of steam or energy

9. Taking into account the BAT in Sections 13.1 and 13.10, the following emission and
consumption levels are associated with BAT for the production of viscose staple fibres:
