2022 |
Source Reduction:: S34: Improved monitoring practices of potential spill or leak sources
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
S34: Goodyear annually performs a thermographic inspection of the solvent systems to identify any potential fugitive emissions leaks that may be occurring. In addition to the thermographic survey, a thorough visual inspection was performed on all accessible threaded joints looking for signs of leaking. Any potential leaks or areas of damage were repaired. Source Reduction - Thermographic survey and visual inspection |

Source Reduction:: W50: Optimized reaction conditions or otherwise increased efficiency of synthesis
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W50: In 2019 compared to 2018 the reaction formulation was changed to increase the batch cycle time which increased the yield of batches. The formulation change also reduced the amount of unreacted raw materials that would normally be transferred off-site for energy recovery |
2018 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W19: Improved heating system of the outdoor storage tanks to reduce the quantity of sludge formation. Sludge formed in the outdoor storage tanks is discharged as hazardous waste. |
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W52: Tank clean out material from the deluge tower was drummed and transported off site for disposal. A new procedure was put in place to reduce waste by pumping the liquid to the solvent recovery process and recovering the raw material to use as a reactant in the manufacturing process. |
2016 |
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W52: Reduced threaded piping connections and installed welded flanges. Replaced sample collection boxes with larger and more ergonomic design to eliminate spillage when using gloves and operating valves inside the vented sample collection box. |
2015 |
Source Reduction:: W59: Modified stripping/cleaning equipment[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
