2022 |
Source Reduction:: S44: Other improvements to operating practices and training
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S44: Continued to dump passivates based on contamination data and not a timed dump schedule. Re-used strips for electroless nickel tank passivation. Switched from a nitric bright dip on the zinc line to an organic acid blend. |
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S25: Other process modifications made[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S25: Set contamination parameters for bath dumps instead of scheduling bath changes on an arbitrary monthly basis Source Reduction - Production, T&C, and Lab combined efforts to communicate when baths age |

Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Nitric acid and nitrate compounds are required for out use in customer specifications. |
|
2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Nitrate Compounds are a byproduct of nitric acid. Without reducing nitric acid, nitrate compounds can not be reduced. |
||
2012 | Other Environmental Practices - We have used spent passivate solution on the strip line or to strip electroless nickel tanks. |
