W19: This program is working well for us W21: This program is working well for us W29: This program is working well for us W35: This program is working well for us Source Reduction - This program is working well for us Source Reduction - This program is working well for us, and it was inspected by the MI, DEQ - Air Emission office / inspector. They were very helpful to our company for improvements. Source Reduction - This program is working well for us Source Reduction - This program is working well for us Source Reduction - This program is working well for us Source Reduction - This program is working well for us Source Reduction - We monitor our vapor carbon canisters for break through & also some of the solvent / VOC vapors are collected on routine basis before escaping to the atmosphere and this collected solvent / VOC vapors go through the carbon canister & condensation process. We do internal walk through internal audits for improvements. We do cycle counts of Raw Materials & always seek R.M. replacement for formulation improvements on routine basis. We schedule Maintenance on equipment on routine basis. We have been training the production crew on routine basis to prevent spills. We have spill clean up stations through out our facility. We always ask employees & have monthly meetings for improvements. Local State Auditor (s) walks through our facility and suggest improvements to our manufacture process related to air quality ( DEQ-MAERS-AIR-Emission-Unit ) for VOC reduction in atmosphere. We are in the process of installing and trying out a new all enclosed ( 0 VOC ) solvent recovery &reclaiming system for reusing / recycling the waste stream and eventually reducing the waste stream of this chemical. |
