Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - If our customers order nitric acid or specific products containing nitric acid, we comply with their requests. |

2021 |
Source Reduction:: S13: Modified product packaging
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
S13: Mostly ordered the chemical in private-labeled bottles ready for re-sale. Source Reduction - Monthly mass balance audits conducted each month. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - When customers order nitric acid or blends containing nitric acid, we fill the orders. There is no option to tell the customer to use something else. |

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 - Customers require nitric acid because of its oxidizing and solublizing capabilities. We manufacture products with nitric acid blends as required. |

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 - We manufacture formulations which our customers order and do not control the formulations ourselves. |

2018 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Other Environmental Practices - All nitric acid bottles are triple-rinsed after use, and the rinse water is returned to our process to reduce emissions.
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - If my customer gives me a formula containing 20% nitric acid, I have to manufacture that formula or decline the business. I can't give them something else. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - When my customer orders product that contains 25% nitric acid, I have to provide it. I have no other choice other than to cease my business. |
|

Source Reduction - Waste and waste disposal is costly. Transene triple rinses the chemical containers and uses the rinse water in its processes, avoiding any release to the environment.
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - We blend products for our customers. When they order a product, we need to manufacture the product according to the specifications. In 2013, we expanded our customer base and sales, pushing our use of the chemical over the limits. The only way for us to use less would be to give up customers/sales. |
