ABSTRACT The emission limit value of the Incineration Directive is being assumed more and more by other industrial sectors. Following this and despite the BREF document developed by the EIPPCB does not establish a limit as an obligation to fulfil, European foundries have decided to tackle this problem which is becoming a common problem for many of them. In the first place, it has been determined the current situation in terms of dioxin emission in cupolas, rotary and electric arc furnaces as more probable equipments producing dioxins in the melting process of steel or cast iron. The scope includes not only determining the current situation (up streams) but implementing feasible and suitable capture systems (down streams). All these solutions customized for every studied furnaces. Key words: Dioxin, furan, foundry, atmospheric emission, dioxin capture system.
