Other Environmental Practices: Source Reduction - Process improvements will decrease or eliminate the use of Dichloromethane in 2016.The material treated off-site has been updated based on typical effluent concentrations and actual flow rates. |

2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - We have developed a new process for manufacturing codeine phosphate without using methylene chloride. We are waiting for our customers to individually validate and file for the new material; since these are FDA regulated substances this process can take years. Once full commercialization of the new process is achieved, methylene chloride usage will go to zero. |
||
2009 | Other Environmental Practices - There was no accidental release in 2009 as it was the case in 2008 of methylene and this significantly explain the difference between the 2008 and 2009 onsite release of this chemical. The average concentration of this chemical in the waste streams sent offsite for energy use is from data that has a very wide range and this information was used to estimate the quantity that was sent to the POTW on a mass balance basis. This should explain why there are significant differences in the 2008 and 2009 quantities included in this report for onsite treatment and offsite energy recovery. | ||

2007 | Source Reduction - On my 29, 2007 an accidental incident occured at the site that resulted in the release of about 960 pounds of methylene chloride. The incident was reported to the appropriate authorities and coorective actions have been put in place to minmize the chance for a recurrence. |
