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 - 94% of the ethanol that contains the methanol is recycled on site. The use of this chemical directly affects product quality |

W43: We eliminated the use of methanol in our flake washing procedures W52: Replaced distillation tanks A & B with new, more efficient, tanks which create higher purity wash solvents, reducing amount of washes required. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We replaced our existing distillation columns used for solvent recovery with new, more efficient columns with better temperature control, more alarms, and better safety features. |

Source Reduction:: W82: Modified design or composition of product
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W82: New product design using zero MeOH Source Reduction - Usage decrease, with production increase, due to "green" products that require little or no Methanol |
2012 |
Source Reduction - Usage decreased with continued sales of "Green" products which require little to no Methanol.
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Product reformulation using less MeOH |
||
2011 | Source Reduction - Newly developed product requiring zero methanol usage produced in 2011, continuing to increase in sales ("Green Product" | ||
2010 | Source Reduction - Production increased in 2010, however methanol specific product decreased in production. Newly developed product requiring zero methanol also produced in 2010, further reducing total methanol use. | ||
