Source Reduction:: S44: Other improvements to operating practices and training[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S44: The new process has extensive work being done to extend the bath life or change the process for something different. The work is being done by both our R&D team & our customers. This work involves 3 full time people here & several at our customer. Source Reduction - Environmental team meets biweekly |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas |
W36: Rinse cells are checked for leaks in pressure boxes & plumbing. Source Reduction - NYDEC mandates hazardous waste reduction Source Reduction - Environmental team meets every other week. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - We currently use static dragouts after each Ni plating station that is added back to the bath for evaporation & use blowoffs after every dragout & plating station before rinsing. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - 100% of our Sludge sent off site is recycled for metals recovery |

W74: Woods Nickel chloride plating baths are stored & reused instead of waste treating reducing the amount of nickel in the sludge & reducing the amount of Nickel chloride purchaseed. Source Reduction - Environmental team meets every other week Other Environmental Practices - 100% of F006 sludge is 100% recycled for metals recovery Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - We use gragout reclaims on every Ni installation & add the dragout back to the process tank. We also use blowoffs prior to & after the dragouts. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Woods Nickel chloride strike plating bath are stored & reused instead of waste treating reducing the amount of nickle in the sludge & reducing the amount is nickel chloride purchased. |

Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - The F006 sludge is sent off site for 100% metals recovery recycling. The calculation for the Ni in the sludge is now reported as continuous monitoring of the Ni content is every shipment. We were reporting it on a once a year required profile analysis. This will account for the increase in Ni release to off site. |

Source Reduction - We are in the process of being ISO 14000 certified & our entire environmental compliance system has been audited & revised. This required source reduction & recycling audits & activities. The continued use of cascading counter flow rinses, low flow spray nozzles & air blow offs have reduced water usage & nickel dragout. |
2005 | Other Environmental Practices - Section 8.8 is zero .We had a fire on 10/24/06. All water from the fire was contained within the building. The water was tested and approved by the potw for treatment in our treatment center. Treatment water is sent to the potw. |
