The Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive, which was recasted as the Industrial Emission Directive (IED) in 2010, is the main EU’s legal instrument regulating pollutant emissions from industrial establishments. As a candidate country to join the EU, Turkey is expected to harmonize domestic legislation with the IED and implement it. In 2018, the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization (MoEU) published a draft regulation entitled “Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC)” for the transposition and implementation of the IED in Turkey. According to this regulation, in setting the permit conditions for the IPPC installations best available techniques (BATs) should be taken as the reference, and BATs to comply with will be published as sectoral communiqués. One of the draft sectoral communiqués prepared so far is for the textile sector. In this study, an assessment of the benefits from implementing BATs presented in this draft communiqué was carried out. First, a medium-sized textile mill was selected as the study plant and the BATs to be implemented in this plant for the IPPC compliance were identified. Then, a bottom-up assessment was carried out to evaluate the monetary benefit that will arise from the adaptation of each BAT. In this assessment, information gathered from literature and the study plant was used and the benefits of implementing each BAT were calculated as monetary equivalent. The total monetary benefit of fitting BATs to be received from a BAT compliance investment of €689,500 was calculated as €7,157,465/yr with a pay-back period of a maximum of 2 years. Finally, the potential saving to be obtained for Turkey with the implementation of the BATs given in the draft communiqué by the IPPC textile factories was calculated as €1,057,500,665. The BATs were then grouped according to the extent to which the benefits outweighed the costs and a brief adaptation timeline was proposed accordingly.

Assessing technologies for reducing dust emissions from sintermaking based on cross-media effects and economic analysis Çakır, Nur; Alp, Emre; Yetiş, Ülkü (2020-09-01) The Industrial Emission Directive (IED) requires industrial establishments to apply the best available techniques (BATs), and competent environmental authorities to set permit conditions based on the emission levels associated with BATs. However, the Directive provides no tools for the assessment of BATs leading to the determination of BAT at the installation level. This study applies the cross-media effects assessment methodology to assess BATs at the installation level, applicable to all industrial sector...
Assessment of the best available wastewater management techniques for a textile mill: cost and benefit analysis Doğan, Buğçe; Yetiş, Ülkü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2008) The Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive from the European Union strives to achieve a high level of environmental protection by preventing or reducing the pollution emanating from industrial installations directly at the source. The Directive implies that the emission limit values should be set in accordance with each industry’s Best Available Techniques (BAT). In the present study, water recovery and wastewater treatability alternatives developed beforehand were evaluated towards th...
Analysis of the best available techniques for wastewaters from a denim manufacturing textile mill YÜKSELER, hande; UZAL, NİĞMET; ŞAHİNKAYA, ERKAN; KİTİŞ, MEHMET; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (2017-12-01) The present study was undertaken as the first plant scale application and evaluation of Best Available Techniques (BAT) within the context of the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control/Industrial Emissions Directive to a textile mill in Turkey. A "best practice example" was developed for the textile sector; and within this context, BAT requirements for one of the World's leading denim manufacturing textile mills were determined. In order to achieve a sustainable wastewater management; firstly, a detail...
Improvements in energy and water consumption performances of a textile mill after bat applications Kocabaş, Ayşe Merve; Yetiş, Ülkü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2008) European Union’s Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive forms a comprehensive framework for industries mentioned in the Annex 1 of the Directive concentrating on the reduction of the environmental impacts of the industrial activities which can be implemented by the BREF Documents that provide guidelines for each sector. Among those industries, textile is a water and energy intensive one. In the present study, gains in terms of energy and water consumptions were assessed in a denim prod...
Determination of Groundwater Threshold Values: A Methodological Approach Applied to the Gediz River Basin (Western Turkey) Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü; Duru, Burcu; Bulut, Onur Fatih; Cakmak, Özgür; Gunhan, Ozgur (2018-07-04) The purpose of the EU Groundwater Directive (2006/118/EC) is to prevent and control groundwater pollution. For this purpose, it requires member states to assess groundwater chemical status. To evaluate the chemical status of a groundwater body, threshold values (TVs) of the relevant risk-posing parameters should be established. In addition, TVs should be implemented in the river basin management plan to prevent or limit inputs of pollutants into groundwater. In the present study, TVs of the substances (12 m...
