Other Barriers to Source Reduction - No known way to reduce salt use with existing style of furnaces. The amount carried out by the process depends on quench temperature and part configuration. If customers order parts with higher surface area and/or parts that are quenched at a lower temperature, there is nothing we can do about the increased carry out. If they order parts with smaller surface area or higher quench temperatures it looks like we made strides at reducing usage, but it really was due to what the customers ordered. In the previous year we had switched salt suppliers and that DID change the viscosity of the salt and reduced our salt usage significantly. Be assured that we would love to reduce the usage of this expensive material. We are investigating a totally different type of furnace system that would reduce this salt usage to nearly zero, but it costs millions of dollars. We need to build up business volumes sufficiently to justify that kind of expenditure. Also, newer style furnace cannot develop same properties in some parts, so we'd still have to run the existing furnace line, but at lower volume which would reduce salt use. |
