Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical
Reporting Year | Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity | Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity | Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information* |
---|---|---|---|
2022 |
Source Reduction:: S24: Modified or updated equipment or layout[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
S24: An inline process was updated to reduce potential for drag-out of chemistry and extend bath life. Source Reduction - Vendor assisting Engineer with design changes to improve process. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Concern that increase in comtaminants due to extension of bath life could potentially affect product quality. |
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S43: Introduced in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
S43: Utilize specific gravity monitoring to determine level of contaminant build up. Due to variation in product processed through the line contaminant level build up is not linear. Source Reduction - Through measuring the contaminant build up it allows maximum usage of chemical, reducing dump and remake of bath. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Usage is based on measuring contaminant build up, extending this measure could result in decline of quality. |
2020 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
Source Reduction - Working with vendor to determine better dump scheduling. Current capacity of product is being evaluated |
2019 |
Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers[-0-4%]
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system |
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program) Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
W14: Working with process engineer we established improved criteria dictating when a bath requires to be changed, thus extending useful life and reducing amount used. Source Reduction - Worked with process engineer Source Reduction - Process engineer worked with vendor to develop the process and criteria Source Reduction - Utilize a edvice measuring specific gravity , as contaminants build the S.G increases. Specific gravity dictates when the bath is reached its end of use. Source Reduction - Process engineer developed criteria to extend bath usage. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Concern that further build up of contaminants could cause quality issues. |
2018 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W13: Working with Process engineers to extend useful life of chemistry. Have moved away from time based schedule to contaminant level. Source Reduction - Management directive to evaluate how far chemistry can be used before impacting production. Also to do away from simple time based schedules which do not take into consideration of actual production time. |
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers

2016 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W19: Working with process engineers to determine extending useful bath life, which reduces dump and remakes Source Reduction - Determined chemical dumps were be carried out as a convenience to production schedule, working with process engineers to develop stricter dump targets. |
