W32: Channel Chemical bought a drum-lifting attachment for the forklift that allows an operator to safely lift drums of acetophenone into and out of the hot water bath. This drum lift has reduced spills and spill potential plantwide. Source Reduction - Acetophenone is a raw material that comes into the plant in metal 55 gal drums. Channel is adding a second warehouse for safe storage of the acetophenone drums. In addition Channel has implemented use of a special drum lift tool that attaches to the forklift to reduce the potential for spills when moving these drums from pallets into a water bath for heating. Acetophenone is shipped to the plant in metal drums by tractor trailer and stored in a future warehouse area. Potential losses could occur during charging of the chemical to reactors (from drums), either from vapors as the drums are opened, or from drips that may occur during connection and disconnection of pumps and hoses. Both types of losses are very minimal. Occasional heavy rainwater flow will pick up residue from process areas, but it is contained within protective dikes. Acetophenone is present in a process water that is sent offsite to a waste disposal company. In addition, empty acetophenone drums that contain a small amount of residue are stored until they are picked up by a drum recycling company and taken offsite. |
2011 | Other Environmental Practices - Acetophenone is shipped to the plant in metal drums which are stored in a warehouse. Potential losses occur during charging of the chemical to reactors, either from vapors while the drums are open, or from drips that may occur during connection and disconnection of pumps and hoses. Both types of losses are very minimal. Occasional heavy rainfall may pick up small amounts of residue from process areas which are diked to prevent release to stormwater ditches. Empty acetophenone drums that may have a small amount of residue are stored until they are picked up by a drum recycling company and taken offsite. | ||
2010 | Other Environmental Practices - Acetophenone is shipped to the plant in metal drums which are stored in a warehouse. Potential losses occur during charging of the chemical to reactors, either from vapors as the drums are opened, or from drips that may occur during connection and disconnection of pumps and hoses. Both types of losses are very minimal. Occasional heavy rainfall may rinse small amounts of residue from process areas, with these areas being diked. Empty acetophenone drums that may have a small amount of residue are stored until they are picked up by a recycling company and taken offsite. | ||
