Several works have studied the basic theory of the BAT concept, process technology, equipment, technical methods as well as other environmental protection methods related to BAT.
Nowadays, environmental protection is one of the urgent and global issues. The negative impact of human activities on the natural environment is increasing at an alarming rate every year, in some cases reaching catastrophic levels. One of the most important natural safety indicators in modern society is ecological security, which protects the vital needs of people, society, and the environment from the negative effects of economic and other man-made activities. Due to the continuous deterioration of the environmental situation, there is a need to increase environmental safety regulations at the government level. Environmental control and environmental monitoring are important issues in an organization. Their objective is to check compliance with environmental regulations, environmental safety standards, and regulations (Guseva, T. V., Begak, M. V., Molchanova, Y. P., Averochkin, E. M., & Vartanyan, M. A., 2014)
At the end of the last century, there was a shift in environmental values and their relationship with the global environmental crisis and with society's perception of the urgency to limit the negative impact of businesses, an economic group in the field of industry and agriculture for the environment. The change in the environmental research paradigm due to the opening of the concept of BAT has contributed to limiting the consumption of natural resources to protect future generations (Morokishko, V., Volosatova, A., Ilina, V., Vertyshev, S., & Malkov, A., 2022, July).
The application of these techniques in an improved system, allows reducing the amount of material and emissions reducing the impact. The combination of those tools has confirmed to be a very good option for process evaluation considering sustainability criteria. The Impact Assessment has permitted to compare the base case scenario showing a reduction of the impacts by the selected Best Available Techniques (Zapelloni, G., Rellán, A. G., & Bugallo, P. M. B., 2019).
