Since the vast majority of LVOC production processes have not benefited from a detailed information exchange, Chapter 3 provides very brief (‘thumbnail’) descriptions of some 65 important LVOC processes. The descriptions are restricted to a brief outline of the process, any significant emissions, and particular techniques for pollution prevention / control. Since the descriptions aim to give an initial overview of the process, they do not necessarily describe all production routes and further information may be necessary to reach a BAT decision
