Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical


Reporting Year Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information*
2024 Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from production, regulatory, and R&D. No reduction opportunities for this TRI chemical were identified.

2023 Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible

Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - We have changed our waste broker such that most of our waste is Incinerated (thermal destruction other than for fuel) vs Incinerated via fuel blending.

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from production, regulatory, and R&D. No reduction opportunities for this TRI chemical were identified.

2022 Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from production, regulatory, and R&D. No feasible targets for methanol use reduction were found in 2022.

2021 Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from engineering,production, regulatory, and R&D. No feasible targets for methanol use reduction were found in 2021.

2020 Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from engineering,production, regulatory, and R&D. No feasible targets for methanol use reduction were found in 2020.

2019 Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from engineering, production, regulatory, and R&D. No feasible targets for methanol use reduction were found in 2019.

2018 Source Reduction:: W56: Reduced or eliminated use of an organic solvent[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
W56: Able to eliminate chemical from a particular process step.

Source Reduction - A waste reduction committee meets on a regular basis. The committee has representation from engineering, production, regulatory, and R&D.
2017 Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from engineering, production, regulatory, and R&D. No feasible targets for methanol were found in 2017

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Certain equipment requires methanol for cleaning. Solvent substitution would affect product quality.

2016 Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - A particular piece of equipment utilizes methanol in its cleaning procedure. Other solvents cannot be substituted as product contamination would result. Reducing the amount of methanol in this cleaning procedure would also result in product contamination.

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from production, engineering, regulatory, and R&D. No feasible targets for methanol reduction were found in 2016.

2015 Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - A particular piece of equipment utilizes methanol in its cleaning procedure. Other solvents cannot be substituted as product contamination would result. The amount of methanol used for this cleaning cannot be reduced as that would also result in product contamination.

Other Environmental Practices: Source Reduction - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis to determine feasible targets for waste reduction. The committee has representation from production, engineering, R&D and the regulatory department.

2014 Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - A particular piece of equipment utilizes methanol in its cleaning procedure. There is a concern that other solvents would not be as effective in cleaning resulting in contamination of subsequent final product batches.
