IPPC AND IED
 Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive 2008/1/EC
(IPPC) is now part of the ‘recast’ Directive 2010/75/EU on Industrial
Emissions Directive (IED)
 IED combined 7 former Directives (which includes IPPC) - in most
cases with little or no change
 One important change is that IED, once fully transposed, will in some cases
establish a stricter approach to BAT since it requires ELVs to be met within
the integrated permits
 Nevertheless since the term IPPC is well understood, it will be
retained for the present presentation

BREF BACKGROUND
 BREFs
 Have no legal basis – just advisory
 Are not prescriptive
 Are not site specific
 Report emission levels associated with BAT and
not ELVs
 Tools for driving environmental performance
 Must form part of an integrated approach

IMPORTANT ISSUES TO NOTE
ABOUT BREFS
 BREFs summarises the collective experience of the Member States in protecting the
environment by operating certain processes (Annex I of IPPC) using processes which are
considered to be BAT so that the emissions meet the respective ELVs
 They DO NOT provide a template for the permit to operate a particular installation since they
cannot be site specific
 They do provide a good starting point on the possible measures needed to be introduced to
minimise emissions to protect the environment from the operation of a given installation
 No specific technique is ever prescribed in any BREF and any that are mentioned should be
treated as examples only
 Operators can opt to use any technique (which does include the operating conditions) as long
as the ELVs which are considered to be BAT in the BREF are met

Dynamics Consortium

NATIONAL BREFS
 BREFs are very long (FMP BREF is 538 pages and IS BREF 627 pages)
 They are approved, as official version, only in English language
 This often constitutes a limit for their application, especially at local level
where knowledge of technical terms in a foreign language can be limited
 Based on a broad analysis of techniques and processes in EU MS
 As such they can include BATs and standards hardly applicable in
Serbian context
 An effective and pragmatic approach has been adopted in different EU
MS by the preparation of National BREF documents, tailoring the content
of BREF documents to the specific situation of the Country
 Serbia has decided also to produce National BREFs and these are being
prepared by the present Project

MAKING AN APPLICATION FOR AN
IPPC PERMIT
 A satisfactory application for an IPPC Permit for the Iron
and Steel Sector is made by ensuring that they meet
indicative BAT as contained in the FMP BREF (and other
relevant BREFs)
 Permits must contain ELVs based on Best Available
Techniques (BAT) for pollutants likely to be emitted in
significant quantities

 Selection and use of materials (including scrap) to give the best practicable
envIronmental option
7.2 Raw material handling
 Fugitive dust emissions from unloading, transport, storage and reclamation of
stocks principally of scrap metal, iron ore, fluxes, coal and coke

STRONG RECOMMENDATION
 It is not an easy task for the respective operators of the installations in the Iron and
Steel Production Sector in Serbia to read through the more than 1000 pages of the
various BREFs which apply to the Sector and to fully understand them.
 It strongly recommended that BEFORE PREPARING THE APPLICATION FOR AN
IPPC PERMIT each of the respective operators should:
 Refer to the activities relevant to their particular installation
 Check that the activities listed do apply to their particular installation, noting
any others which are not included
 Confirm with the IPPC Section of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Environmental Protection that the combined list of activities
 Are appropriate for the particular site
 Any others that should be considered
 This should ensure that the application for an IPPC Permit for the Installation is fit
for purpose and the operator of the Installation does not waste their valuable time
preparing an inappropriate application

ENERGY (II)
 Based on the feedback received so far from operators in the metallurgy sector, it
appears that there is a considerable potential for improvements in energy
efficiency
 Operators are not generally compliant with techniques regarding benchmarking
and setting up targets for reduction of energy
 Introduction of energy management system, regular monitoring, analysis of
monitored data, benchmarking should be introduced since they are big energy
consumers
 Also there is a potential for improvement in the use of waste heat by introduction
of different methods of heat recovery

STRONG RECOMMENDATION
 It is not an easy task for the respective operators of the installations in the Iron and
Steel Production Sector in Serbia to read through the approximately 1000 pages of
these two BREFs which apply to the Sector and to fully understand them.
 It strongly recommended that BEFORE PREPARING THE APPLICATION FOR AN
IPPC PERMIT each of the respective operators should:
 Refer to the activities relevant to their particular installation listed earlier
 Check that the activities listed do apply to their particular installation, noting
any others which are not included
 Confirm with the IPPC Section of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Environmental Protection that the combined list of activities
 Are appropriate for the particular site
 Any others that should be considered
 This should ensure that the application for an IPPC Permit for the Installation is fit
for purpose and the operator of the Installation does not waste their valuable time
preparing an inappropriate application

FINAL POINT TO NOTE ABOUT BREFS
 BREFs summarises the collective experience of the Member States in protecting the
environment by operating certain processes (Annex I of IPPC) using processes which are
considered to be BAT so that the emissions meet the respective ELVs
 They DO NOT provide a template for the permit to operate a particular installation since they
cannot be site specific
 They do provide a good starting point on the possible measures needed to be introduced to
minimise emissions to protect the environment from the operation of a given installation
 No specific technique is ever prescribed in any BREF and any that are mentioned should be
treated as examples only
 Operators can opt to use any technique (which does include the operating conditions) as long
as the ELVs which are considered to be BAT in the BREF are met
