Best available technology definition

Best available technology means those practices which most appropriately remove, treat, or isolate contaminants from groundwater, soil or associated environment, as determined through professional judgment considering actual equipment or techniques currently in use, published technical articles, site hydrogeology and research results, engineering and groundwater professional reference materials, consultation with experts in the field, capital and operating costs, and guidelines or rules of other regulatory agencies.
Best available technology or “BAT” means the best technology, treatment techniques, or other means that USEPA has found are available for the contaminant in question. BAT is specified in Subpart F of this Part.
Best available technology or "BAT" means any combination of work practices, raw material specifications, throughput limitations, source design characteristics, an evaluation of the annualized cost per ton of air pollutant removed, and air pollution control devices that have been previously demonstrated to the director of environmental protection to operate satisfactorily in this state or other states with similar air quality on substantially similar air pollution sources.

Examples of Best available technology in a sentence

  • Best available technology includes, but is not limited to, installation of leak detection technologies, automatic shutoff systems, or remote controlled sectionalized block valves, or any combination of these technologies based on a risk analysis conducted by the operator.

  • From a technical point of view the condensing gas boilers operate in two different fields of temperature with different efficiency: at 50/30°C (between sent and return temperature), they achieve a mean efficiency of 105% (Best available technology – BAT: 107%), while in the field between 80/60°C they achieve a mean efficiency of 96% (BAT 98%).
