W58: Process modifications significantly reduced the quantity of formic acid required for manufacture of our product, and subsequently significantly reduce the by-products generated during this process. Source Reduction - This is the culmination of a four year effort to reduce the formic footprint on this process. Source Reduction - The chemical synthesis route of our product was modified, after 4 years of R&D, to significantly reduce the use of highly hazardous formic acid. |

W19: W19- Continued improvements to inventory procedures including additional audits of raws and wastes, including lab analysis W58: W58-Additional improvements in procedures related to inventory control; Increased air exposure monitoring related to LDAR program startup resulted in discovery of minor leaks (less than LDAR threshold but still fugitive) Other Environmental Practices - Although formic acid is well controlled at the facility, there still are gains to be made in emission controls as well as more research into the potential to re-use recovered toluene on site. These activities are planned for 2013-2014 |

W19: Implementation of an ERP system drastically modified and improved material handling and control W58: Process times and temperatures were collected and compared to yield variations, allowing certain unit operations to be put under much tighter controls (Thank you ERP) Source Reduction - Vigilence in finding customers for process by-products that would otherwise be wasted Source Reduction - Our standard method of calculating air emissions, individual material balances on each lot of material produced, was utilized beyond EHS purposes, and aimed at our largest volume products Source Reduction - Aggressive training of both management and operators on new ERP system required coordinated effort to review and improve internal process including inventory control, production scheduling and equipment use |
