Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical
Reporting Year | Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity | Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity | Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information* |
---|---|---|---|
2022 |
Source Reduction:: S42: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and material changeovers
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits |
S42: Managed Production schedule to minimize the need to thoroughly clean out the equipment and tanks between batches. The Heal is reused by mixing in with next batch. Source Reduction - Continuous mass balance audits for all processes to evaluate all slurries. Source Reduction - Reuse of heal and blended with raw material for reuse. Source Reduction - Encourage team members to suggest reduction methods to improve source reduction. |
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S35: Other improvements to inventory and material management
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) |
S35: Reused off spec slurry which reduced the need for acid. |
