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:: S14: Other product modifications made[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S14: We received approval from R&D to recycle distillate (waste water) and off-spec resin material back into our products to eliminate the need for disposal. |
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S11: Reformulated or developed new product line
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S11: Resin products were reformulated to reduce the quantity of waste water generated during the distillation step in the process. |
2020 |
Source Reduction:: W32: Improved procedures for loading, unloading, and transfer operations
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
|
2019 |
Source Reduction:: W49: Other raw material modifications[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W49: We recycled distillate material that would have gone offsite for solidification and were able to reclaim the raw material value of the formaldehyde in the distillate. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Our company continues to do research to investigate source reduction activities for the use of formaldehyde in our product but at this time there is no alternative. |
2018 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
Source Reduction:: W39: Other spill or leak prevention |

2017 |
Source Reduction:: W71: Other cleaning and degreasing modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
|
W71: Reduced the quantity of rinses in between batches for the resin reactors which reduced the quantity of waste water generated. |
2016 |
Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W58: We improved/replaced part of the vacuum system which reduced the quantity of cooling water we were using by increasing the cooling capacity of the system. This reduced the need to empty and refill when the water heated up. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We were able to recycle a large quantity of off-specification resin material and formaldehyde back into our process. |
2015 |
Source Reduction:: W51: Instituted recirculation within a process[-15-24%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W51: Converted to recirculating cooling water rather than "once through". |
2014 |
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system
|

2013 |
Source Reduction:: W32: Improved procedures for loading, unloading, and transfer operations
Source Reduction:: W33: Installed overflow alarms or automatic shutoff valves Source Reduction:: W71: Other cleaning and degreasing modifications Source Reduction:: W50: Optimized reaction conditions or otherwise increased efficiency of synthesis |
