Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
S21: Scale up of a reaction utilizing the TRI chemical was optimized for actual process conditions vs theoretical. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from production, regulatory, and R&D. An opportunity was found to possibly reduce the amount of a reagent containing the TRI chemical during a scale up exercise. |

Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
S21: During process scale up, reaction was optimized to increase limiting reagent loading while being able to reduce the amount of toluene needed for the scale up. Source Reduction - A waste reduction committee continues to meet on a regular basis. The committee has representation from production, regulatory, and R&D. 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. |
