BAT/BREF analysis and adaptation to best available techniques (IPPC)

When new BAT conclusions are published, the permit is reviewed and the window to adapt closes quickly. We compare your installation against the applicable BREF and tell you what has to change, what can be justified and what it will cost.

What's included

• Determination of the BREF and BAT conclusions applicable to the activity.
• Point-by-point technical conformity analysis against the real state of the installation.
• Comparison of BAT-associated emission levels with your own measurement data.
• Technical and economic justification of derogations where there are grounds.
• Adaptation plan with investments, phases and deadlines.
• Documentation for the review of the integrated environmental permit.

When you need it

• New BAT conclusions have been published for your sector.
• The authorities have started the review of your permit.
• You want to bring forward the adaptation investment before it is imposed on a fixed timetable.
• You are considering a substantial modification and BAT compliance has to be reviewed.

How we work

We visit the installation and read the BREF with your data in hand, not with design values. Where a BAT technique does not apply, what matters is justifying that properly: often the justification is worth more than the investment it saves.
