2021 |
Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Heater "A" uses recycle styrene and ethylbenzene as an alternative fuel source, decreasing the total amount of natural gas usage. |
||
2020 |
Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Recycle material is used in the facility's Heater A as noted in Section 8.10. The ability to use styrene/ethyl benzene as an alternative fuel source also reduced the amount of natural gas utilized at the heater. 2020 was a planned process shutdowns, expecting less recycle fuel used in 2021. |

2019 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W19: Improved recycle management, returning used process material back to reactor at the appropriate levels. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - RCRA Part B permit issuance allowed ability to increase alternative fuel usage. Utilize Heater A waste fuel which uses facility's recycle material (Styrene /ethyl benzene) as the fuel source. More recycle used in the heater means less hazardous waste generated for off-site management. 2020 is planned process shutdowns, expecting less recycle fuel. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Recycle material is used in the facility's Heater A as noted in Section 8.10. The ability to use styrene/ethyl benzene as an alternative fuel source also reduced the amount of natural gas utilized at the heater. |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W58: Utilize Heater A waste fuel which uses facility's recycle material (Styrene /ethyl benzene) as the fuel source. More recycle used in the heater means less hazardous waste generated for off-site management. Source Reduction - RCRA Part B permit issuance allowed ability to increase alternative fuel usage. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Recycle material is used in the facility's Heater A as noted in Section 8.10. The increase in the ability to use styrene/ethyl benzene as an alternative fuel source also reduced the amount of natural gas untilized at the heater. |
2017 |
Source Reduction: Source Reduction - In 2018 the facility increased fuel usage in hazardous waste BIF. The facility was issued a RCRA Part B with an increased feed rate limit. |

2016 |
Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - A hazardous waste combustor is used on site to burn waste fuel for energy. The facility would be able to burn more waste in the combustor if the agency granted the facility the ability to store and burn waste more than 50% level in the storage tank currently allowed. |
