BAT
is
defined
in
the
EU
directive
on
Integrated
Pollution

(IPPC)
(2008/1/EC).
The
thesis
was
conducted
through
studies
of
this
directive
and
its
associated
reference
documents.
In
addition,
existing
BAT
reports
were
studied.
In
order
to
develop
the
methodology
two
fictitious
BAT
assessments
were
conducted.
In
the
proposed
guideline
BAT
is
interpreted
chiefly
as
a
tool
to
compare
the
environmental
performance
of
different
techniques.
The
methodology
has
been
based
mainly
on
an
EU
reference
document
(IPPC
Reference
Document
on
Economics
and
Cross-‐Media
Effects)
and
is
divided
into
seven
modules.
These
modules
have
been
inspired
largely
by
the
structure
of
life
cycle
analysis
as
described
in
the
ISO
14040
standard.
While
writing
the
thesis
we
have
concluded
that
many
of
the
evaluations
done
in
a
BAT
assessment
are
qualitative
and
must
be
performed
on
a
case-‐by-‐case
basis.
Moreover,
it
is
inherently
difficult
to
compare
different
environmental
impacts.
The
definition
of
BAT
is
relatively
vague.
As
a
result,
its
efficiency
as
an
environmental
tool
is
determined
by
the
attitude
of
those
who
conduct
them
and
of
those
who
base
their
decisions
upon
them. (Less)
