S21: Continued effort to reduce the amount of hexane utilized for web production oil extraction on a grams per square meter basis.
2021 Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
2020 Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
W58: Additional R&D along with updated process techniques has yielded less n-hexane usage.

Source Reduction - Additional R&D along with updated process techniques has yielded less n-hexane usage.
2019 Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
W13: Voluntary internal non-required leak detection and repair. Upgrading solvent service piping from carbon steel to stainless steel for greater integrity.
2018 Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-5-14%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - We voluntarily conduct non-regulated Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) checks on our interior extraction lines using FLIR camera. We use this data to strategically focus on in-house leak repairs, resulting in less fugitive solvent emissions.
2017 Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-15-24%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
W13: We now operate a program utilizing a FLIR camera to identify solvent leaks within our extraction process. We track and address the leaks on an on-going basis on our three extraction lines.


Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - We now operate a program utilizing a FLIR camera to identify solvent leaks within our extraction process. We track and address the leaks on an on-going basis on our three extraction lines.
2016 Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
W13: More focus on mechanical integrity of the extraction lines and recordkeeping on hexane usage.


Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - An increased focus on the extraction areas, including maximizing carbon bed efficiencies will result in an increased capture / recycling of our solvent.
2015 Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
W13: The facility hired a Maintenance Planner in 2015 - this has helped with our maintenance systems and has helped to ensure equipment is being maintained properly.
