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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 |
Source Reduction:: S23: Implemented new technology, technique, or process
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
Source Reduction - BD Medical completed installation of Advanced Air Technology Dry Bed System January 2023. |
| 2022 |
Source Reduction:: S23: Implemented new technology, technique, or process
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
S23: Improved stack testing methods was used to calculate an increased destruction removal efficiency (DRE). BD Medical completed the installation of the new Advanced Air Technology Dry Bed System in January 2023 and will provide capture and control for EtO fugitive emissions. |
| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S34: Improved monitoring practices of potential spill or leak sources[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
|
S34: Implemented a more robust leak detection and repair program (LDAR). Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Updated the method to quantify the amount of EO returned to the supplier for reuse.Estimated 1% decrease in EO usage with improved sterilization cycles. BD Medical is in the process of installing an Advanced Air Technology Dry Bed System that will provide capture and control for EtO fugitive emissions. This system is expected to come online at the end of the year 2022. |
| 2013 | Other Environmental Practices - After use, ethylene oxide is destroyed using a catalytic abatement system. The catalyst in this unit was replaced mid-year in 2012, resulting in a significant decrease in ethylene oxide emissions. The catalyst will be replaced every five years to avoid reduced efficiency in the destruction of ethylene oxide. | ||
| 2012 | Other Environmental Practices - The catalytic oxidation unit catalyst was replaced during the reporting year, restoring the efficiency of the catalytic destruction of Ethylene Oxide. | ||
| 2011 | Source Reduction - The increase in emssions is due to reduced efficiency of the catalytic oxidation unit catalyst. The catalyst is being replaced during CY 2012, to restore the efficiency of the catalytic oxidation unit. | ||
| 2007 | Source Reduction - This is a new sterilization process. The waste ethylene oxide is destroyed by catalytic oxidation. |
