Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
Source Reduction - Cherry has previously installed Rinse water recycling systems and air pollution control systems. VOC cleaning has been replaced with less toxic aqueous cleaning systems. Ozone Depleting solvents have been completely eliminated. In addition Cherry implemented process solution control & maintenance and trained all operators in good housekeeping and waste reduction methods. Cherry continues to practice these activities and improve upon them as appropriate.During 2015 Cherry installed new more efficient fume scrubber and VOC control equipment. Even though this equipment did not result in source reduction, it improved air pollution control at the site.
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Aerospace fasteners are expected to last for the life of the aircraft, which in most cases is 25 years or longer. For this reason customer and industry specifications impose very stringent quality requirements, making it necessary for frequent disposal and replacement of process solutions. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Rinse water recycling systems, Installation of air pollution control systems, replacement of VOC cleaning with aqueous cleaning systems were all previously implemented leaving little or no economic or technical feasibility for additional source reduction projects. |

2013 |
Source Reduction - Previously implemented source reduction activities continued during the current year: Solution analysis and control, employee training, regular equipment inspections and maintenance to control spills and leaks
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Customer and military engineering/quality specifications along with concern for aircraft safety restrict process and raw material changes that may result in source reduction. |

2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - 1. Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feasible.Source reduction activities implemented during prior years and continued during 2012 include: Process bath analysis, employee training, regular equipment inspections and preventive maintenance to minimize spills and leaks. 2. Quality assurance requirements (NADCAP, AS9100, etc.) and concern for Aircraft safety preclude further source reduction activity. |
||
2011 | Source Reduction - Source reduction activities implemented during prior years and continued during 2011 include: Employee training, regular equipment inspection, and preventive maintenance to minimize spills, leaks and other releases. | ||
2010 | Source Reduction - During the calendar year 2010, started using depleted aqueous solution containing Nitric Acid from one process in another process where solution contamination was less critical. Source reduction activities implemented during prior years and continued during 2010 include: regular equipment inspection and preventive maintenance, process solution analysis, solution change-overs based on actual usage/depletion instead of time intervals, and employee training | ||
2009 | Other Environmental Practices - Fume scrubber is in place to reduce air emissions. Spent Nitric from one process is used in another process when it can be done without impacting product quality. | ||
2008 | Source Reduction - 1. Process bath analysis, purification and preventive maintenance 2. Operator training to maintain solution cleanliness, minimize carry-over and eliminate spills and leaks |
