(4) The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be up to 150 mg/l when the amount of waste water discharged is less than 25 m3/t of treated textile materials.

BAT-AEL for COD - Summary of the comments (1/3)
15 out of 61 comments received on Table 5.3 concern COD or Footnote (4).
Proposed BAT-AELs
Lower the upper end of the BAT-AEL range to 100 mg/l, as with good physical, biological and chemical treatment lower concentration values can be achieved.
Increase the upper end of BAT-AEL range to 165 mg/l as the 85th percentile of collected data better represents the performance of the majority of plants.

Footnote (4)
Link Footnote (4) to removal efficiency instead of waste water discharged, as variation of water consumption data shows that it is not appropriate to use water consumption as the basis for an exemption.
Decrease the upper end of the range in Footnote (4) to 130 mg/l if the removal efficiency is at least 90%.
Increase the upper end of the BAT-AEL range in Footnote (4), (to 160 or 250 mg/l), for waste waters with high COD content in the influent if the removal efficiency is at least 90% or 95% as a yearly or monthly average.

Footnote (4)
Increase the water consumption level in Footnote (4) to the one reached by the plants/sites with multiple processes and process routes; according to the data collection only a few single-process sites reach the proposed level.
Add BOD level equal to or less than 25 mg/l as an indicator of the biodegradability of the effluent.

BAT-AEL for COD - EIPPCB preliminary assessment (1/3)
Proposed BAT-AELs
The BAT-AELs are not derived by using a statistical approach (i.e. number or proportion of plants below/above a given level or use of a certain percentile to derive BATAELs).
With an appropriate combination of techniques listed in BAT 19, emission levels lower than 120 mg/l can indeed be reached. Levels down to 40 mg/l can be reached, hence the proposed lower end of the range.
The technical reasons as to why the proposed upper end of the BAT-AEL range could not be achieved and should be increased to 165 mg/l are not provided.

BAT-AEL for TSS - Summary of the comments (1/1)
3 out of 61 comments received on Table 5.3 concern TSS.
Proposed BAT-AELs
According to the data collected and Directive on Urban Waste Water Treatment (91/271/EC), the upper end could be lowered to 35 mg/l.
Lower the upper end to 35 mg/l, as solids can have metals and metalloids associated with them and can therefore pose a significant threat to downstream ecology.

Lower the upper end of the BAT-AEL range to 2 or 3 mg/l because: only data sets for plants with direct discharge using BATs for phosphorus removal should be used for setting a BAT-AEL; for the plants discharging into eutrophicationsensitive areas the upper end of the range is 1 or 2 mg/l (depending on size) as set by the

BAT-AEL for Total P - Summary of the comments (3/3)
Increase the upper end of the BAT AEL range to 10 mg/l for fire-retardant treatments using phosphorous compounds.
Do not consider organic phosphorus when evaluating Total phosphorus. Organophosphorous flame retardants are persistent but not bioaccumulative or toxic. This organic phosphorus does not contribute to the eutrophication of surface water. Actions regarding pad liquors and highly concentrated rinsing water are taken by plants to avoid excess of discharge.

Set separate BAT-AEL ranges for each process:
Pretreatment and dyeing (with an upper end of the range at 1.5 mg/l) because antimony used as a catalyst for polyester production is leached out of fibre at high temperature and emissions cannot be avoided.
Finishing (with a BAT-AEL range of 0.1-0.4 or an upper end of the range at 0.5 mg/l) because emissions can be minimised by retention of padding liquor and contaminated rinsing water.

Summary of comments
Set a BAT-AEL range for Sum of PFOS and PFOA from 1 to 3 g/l. There are 8 data sets available for PFOA and 7 data sets available for PFOS.
Change relevant processes in the table for monitoring frequency from "All activities/processes" to "Finishing".
EIPPCB preliminary assessment
IT092_w{1} and IT097_w{1} reported monitored standard used by email: GC-MM for FTOS and FTAF; analysis with LC-MM o LC-TOF for the other PFOA compounds.

PFOS and PFOA
EIPPCB preliminary assessment
No techniques reported for the abatement of PFOS and PFOA, e.g. activated carbon, membrane bioreactor (MBR).
The availability and comparability of data were insufficient to propose a BAT-AEL for the sum of PFOA and PFOS of 1-3 g/l .
According to the data collection there are different associated processes where PFOS and PFOA have been reported, e.g. dyeing, shrink-proof finishing, printing, washing synthetic fibre, desizing, bleaching,
