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 Source Reduction:: S05: Modified content, grade, or purity of a chemical input

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
S05: We continue in 2024 to explore possibilities to more efficiently use CIP chemicals and/or less expensive & less hazardous options to carry out CIP without causing a reduction in hygiene & product quality. This effort is remains in progress, particularly as we experience current market slow-down.

Source Reduction - In house lab quality control analysis checking product quality and recommending sanitation adjustments
Source Reduction - Technical assistance on chemical product options and possible substitute formulations to maintain hygiene quality with less chemical consumption with our chemical supplier.

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - We continue looking for options with our chemical supplier to use chemical more efficiently, this chemical is important to our process sanitation activities. Sanitation chemicals used are for Cleaning-in-Place ("CIP") between brewing batches of differing products formulations of differing size with differing customer specs. CIP activities are influenced by diverse factors and variable. Thus use of CIP chemical(s) may not correlate well with production. We did have a slight decrease of use of this chemical in 2024, 2.3% . The resulting liquid form CIP process is then passed to the local Water Treatment Facility. This CIP process results in almost all of this chemical being treated by the local Water Treatment Facility.

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - With regards to source reduction activity #1 with methods T10 & T04 listed, we are still exploring options, and experienced market fluctuation and changing customer requirements. in 2024 . Although we did have a sight decrease in this chemical use, still it's not clear the extent achievable at this time.

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - This chemical is used for Cleaning-in-Place ("CIP") between brewing batches of beer, sodas and other beverages. How often CIP is required is decided by the nature of the production runs.

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - The Liquid produced by CIP process is passed onto our local Water treatment Facility.

2023 Source Reduction:: S05: Modified content, grade, or purity of a chemical input

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
S05: In 2023 we have been looking at possibilities to more efficiently use CIP chemicals and/or less expensive & less hazardous options to carry out CIP without causing a reduction in hygiene & product quality. This effort is remains in progress.

Source Reduction - Technical assistance on chemical product options and possible substitute formulations to maintain hygiene quality with less chemical consumption.
Source Reduction - In house lab quality control analysis

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - With regards to source reduction activity #1 with methods T10 & T04 listed, we are still exploring options, with some apparent progress in 2023, but still not clear the extent achievable at this time.

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - This chemical is used for Cleaning-in-Place ("CIP") between brewing batches of beer, sodas and other beverages. How often CIP is required is decided by the nature of the production runs.

Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - Although we continue looking for options to use chemical more efficiently and/or perhaps a change to a less hazardous substance, CIP activities are controlled by diverse production & customer needs. As stated, this chemical is used for Cleaning-in-Place ("CIP") between brewing batches. Despite possible effective reduction efforts on a per batch basis, we still may see an overall increase in total CIP chemical use during any given year due to production increase, beverage recipe characteristics, etc. The resulting liquid form CIP process is then passed to the local Water Treatment Facility. This CIP process results in almost all of this chemical being treated by the local Water Treatment Facility.

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - The Liquid produced by CIP process is passed onto our local Water treatment Facility.

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 - This chemical is used for Cleaning-in-Place ("CIP") between brewing batches. CIP activities are controlled by production needs. The resulting liquid form CIP process is then passed to the local Water Treatment Facility. This CIP process results in almost all of this chemical being treated by the local Water Treatment Facility.

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - The Liquid produced by CIP process is passed onto our local Water treatment Facility.

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 - This chemical is used for Cleaning-in-place (CIP) in-between brewing batches. This is controlled by production needs. The liquid resulting from this CIP process is then passed on to the local Water Treatment Facility. This cleaning-in-place process results in almost all of this chemical being treated by the local Water Treatment Facility.

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - The liquid produced by this CIP process is passed onto our local Water Treatment Facility.

2019 Barriers to P2 - In previous years we had increased the amount of this chemical which allowed us to use less caustic chemicals. We may have reached our limit on reduction. The number of cleaning-in-place operations we have to complete are a direct result of consumer demand.


Other Barriers to Source Reduction - In previous years we have adjusted the chemicals used for cleaning-in-place. This adjustment allowed us to reduce the number of different caustic we used for this sanitizing. We are unsure is any more substitutions can be made.

2018 Other Environmental Practices - In the future we hope to be able to better manage - through our production expansion, our Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) chemical usage by controlling our production process flow.


Other Barriers to Source Reduction - We are in the process of expanding our facility which should be able to help us better manage the usage of these chemicals. The chemicals being reported are used strictly for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) in-between batches of beers/soda/malt beverages. Production has gone up and chemicals used for (CIP) has been adjusted and hopefully will be further sdjusted in the coming years.

2017 Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials[-5-14%]

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
W42: We switched the chemical we use from a Parasan A which had 20-23% Hydrogen Peroxide (CAS #7722-84-1) and 5.5% Peracedic Acid (CAS #79-21-0) to Max-I-San which has 26.5-27.5% Hydrogen Peroxide (CAS #7722-84-1) and 14.5-15.7% Peracedic Acid (CAS #79-21-0). This allowed us to use less of this chemical to accomplish the same clean-in-place process in-between beer/soda/beverage processing. The net effect was we used less of the overall chemical resulting in less Peracedic Acid being used.

Source Reduction - We sought out a change in clean-in-place potential improvement that worked.
Source Reduction - A new vendor helped us make this switch.
Source Reduction - Interestingly increasing the Hydrogen Peroxide and the Peracedic Acid in the cleaning chemical allowed us to use less overall product which resulted in a 13% overall reduction in the use of Peracedic Acid.
2016 Source Reduction:: W61: Changed to aqueous cleaners (from solvents or other materials)[-5-14%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
W61: There have been some substitutions to try to limit the use of this chemical mixture.

Source Reduction - Our vender has been helping us try out these other chemicals.
2015 Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.

Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - This chemical is used for Cleaning-in-place (CIP) sterilization of tanks in-between brews. FDA guidelines call for this CIP Procedure to be done. The chemical then flows through the sanitary sewer to the POTW facility which expects, and handles, the treatment of this water/chemical flow.
