What Is a BAT Gap Analysis and Why Is It Important?
BAT (Best Available Techniques) represents the most effective and advanced technologies available to minimize environmental impact and prevent pollution.
A BAT Gap Analysis examines the difference between the technologies currently implemented in a facility and the leading European standards, as defined in the official BREF (BAT Reference Documents).
Key Advantages of Conducting a BAT Gap Analysis:
- Early identification of technological gaps
- Preparation for future environmental regulations
- Long-term cost savings and operational efficiency
- Enhanced environmental image and compliance confidence
Structure of the BAT Gap Analysis
The analysis includes the following stages:
- Mapping and Process Review
- Comprehensive mapping of production processes
- In-depth evaluation of all activities
- Identification of critical points for optimization
- Comparison with BREF Documents
- Assessment against the most recent European standards
- Adaptation to industry-specific requirements
- Gap Identification and Evaluation
- Detection of technological and procedural gaps
- Assessment of environmental and economic implications
- Action Plan Development
- Practical recommendations for improvement
- Clear timeline and implementation milestones
