“…This flexibility leads to inequalities in implementation between EU member states and within these states. Figure 1 positions the characteristics of some identified assessment methodologies (MIOW + model in (Derden et al, 2002), BEAsT (Georgopoulou et al, 2008), the PNUE methodology (PNUE, 2004), VITO (Dijkmans, 2000), etc.). They were developed under the IPPC directive in relation to their level of application, that is to say, whether they are adapted for local use (industries) or for a higher level in the selection of BAT for BREFs (administration).…”

“…It would also select BAT for the procedures leading to exploitation permit, at the level of an individual installation. The literature contains an ever-increasing number of case studies which describe the implementation of the aforesaid regulation for industrial sectors as well as for the fruit and vegetable processing industry (Derden et al, 2002), the dairy industry (Honkasalo et al, 2005), the Finnish pulp and paper industry (Silvo et al, 2009), the steel and glass industry (Rave, 2008), etc.…”

“…According to appendix 1 of the IPPC directive, metal finishing workshops using an electrolytic or chemical process where the volume of the treatment baths exceeds 30m 3 is concerned by this regulation (Derden et al, 2002;Litten, 2002).This specific study encourages the realization of one subsection of the French technical report of company X. This real case study was tested and has taken part of the validation of the L-BAT methodology with its three tools:…”

Abstract:The European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) directive compels the more polluting industries to apply Best Available Techniques (BAT) in order to reach an adequate level of environmental protection. In Europe, despite the difficulty of implementing the IPPC directive, there is nowadays an increasing endeavour to develop methodologies for quantitative integrated assessments of pollution, improve the understanding and application of BAT at the installation stage and facilitate their selection for European Reference Documents. The methodology proposed in this article aims at helping stakeholders (industrialists, authorities) deal with the update of their exploitation licence (i.e. in this case, the French technical report). Taking into account the local context of the studied companies, the methodology focuses on the evaluation of existing BAT techniques and provides a general framework for the assessment of production units and management processes. The methodology is carried out as a four-step procedure involving an environmental and risk performance assessment tool and an evaluation grid for the production unit. Each production unit is rated through an evaluation grid made of six levels of compliance with the performance of BAT. The aggregation of these marks allows the comparison to the IPPC objectives. Finally, the applicability of this qualitative assessment has been validated through several metal finishing facilities.

Transferring the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Approach and Best Available Techniques (BAT) Concepts to Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:The principles introduced by the Directive Concerning Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) (currently known as the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU)) are innovative and have raised interests in the framework of the literature debate on environmental regulation. Many articles describe and analyze the application of the Directive in European countries, but only a few articles focus on how the interest for the Directive's principles, including the integrated approach, have reached countries outside the European Union. This paper aims to contribute to this topic, describing the experience of the authors in carrying out an EU-funded project on transferring the IPPC approach and Best Available Techniques (BAT) concepts to three Arab countries, i.e., Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. The paper presents the experience referring to two sectors falling within the scope of the IPPC Directive: the textile and dairy sector. The objectives, methodologies, activities and experiences are described and can be used and valorized to integrate the IPPC approach and BAT concepts in the current environmental legislation of the three countries.

“…Thus a remarkable literature concerning the approaches and methodologies for the development of environmental performance indicators can be found. Some of the related published works concern the evaluation of the technology used in industry [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Kliopova and Kazimieras Staniskis [10] refer to the evaluation of cleaner production performance in Latvian industry, while Johan Thoresen [6] elaborates some aspects related to the construction and use of environmental performance indicators in industrial companies.…”
