Other Barriers to Source Reduction - ASTM A967 does allow for citric acid passivation of stainless steel, and we do strongly suggest to our customers that they switch to citric acid, but the decision is ultimately theirs. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Our nitric acid rinse waters are automatically monitored for pH and automatically adjusted to pH 5-9 in accordance with our sanitary authority discharge permit. All of the acid is neutralized and no longer detrimental to the environment. |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - ASTM A967 is specific about the concentrations of nitric acid for passivation of stainless steel. We adhere to the criteria for Nitric 2 which allows for a nitric acid concentration of 20-45%. This range also allows us to adhere to the post dip requirements in ASTM B912 for the passivation of stainless steels by electropolishing with 10-30% nitric acid. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Our nitric acid rinse waters are automatically monitored for pH and automatically adjusted to pH 5-9 in accordance with our sanitary authority discharge permit. All of the acid is neutralized and no longer detrimental to the environment. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - ASTM A967 for the passivation of stainless steel requires the use of nitric acid. Many customers specifically demand nitric acid passivation.

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Increasing the purity or concentration of the nitric acid we purchase may create more regulatory issues with the Department of Homeland Security. Concentrated nitric acid is a chemical of interest under CFATS (Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards). Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Our nitric acid wastes are automatically monitored for pH and automatically adjusted to pH 5-9 in accordance with our sanitary authority permit. All of the acid is neutralized and no longer detrimental to the environment.

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - As stainless steel component production increases, so too will the use of nitric acid for passivation. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - We have our waste waters analyzed by an independent laboratory for many criteria to ensure we remain in compliance with our sanitary authority discharge permit. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - An automatic system is in place to adjust the pH of the process rinse waters and effectively neutralize the acid. |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Nitric acid is used for the passivation of stainless steel components. As production increases, so too will the amount of nitric acid used. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Nitric acid is neutralized to a pH 6-8 with a dilute caustic soda to produce water and a salt. |
