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 |
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Already reduced the quantity of Methanol charged to the process to within specification limits. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Strong H2S odor of this waste stream has not allowed for recycling options of the solvent. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Limited on TSDF's that will accept this waste due to the strong odor. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Same as B3 |

Source Reduction:: W89: Other product modifications[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W89: Reduced Methanol charge by 2-3% Source Reduction - Conducted trials to verify that reduction in Methanol Charge would not effect the quality of the product produces. Source Reduction - Have an ongoing 40 CFR 264/5 Subpart BB LDAR Program to identify leaks and repair in a timely manner to reduce potential VOC emissions to the environment. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Reduced Methanol use by 2-3% per batch. Any further reduction doesn't seem technically feasilbe. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Reduced the amount of Methanol used in each batch by 2-3% Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Lost energy recovery disposal facility in 2020 but have found an alternate energy recovery disposal facility for 2021 |
2018 |
Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - This specific process waste stream used as fuel in a cement kiln. |
