Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Nickel catalyst is the most commonly used reactants for fatty acid hydrogenation. Alternative catalysts are extremely expensive. Usage will be a function of product produced. |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W58: The facility initiated the operation of a fractionation system that assists in processing certain raw materials, without the need for nickel catalyst. This system is being included as a process modification since it reduces the generation of nickel waste, by allowing for certain raw materials to be processed without nickel catalyst. Nickel catalyst is still used for raw materials that are not suitable for the fractionation system. |
