Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - No acceptable alternatives to acetonitrile use at this time. |
|
2019 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|

Source Reduction:: W25: Instituted clearinghouse to exchange materials that would otherwise be discarde[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
|
W25: We are able to segregate and produce a high quality material that is currently contained in a waste stream that is fuel blended. Unable to sustain segregation because volume of material produced is not marketable due to small volume. |
2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Investigated the sale of waste by-product of high purity acetonitrile. Due to low volumes produced and lack of secondary market interest, project was not pursued. |
||
2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Beneficial reuse of high purity wastestream not successful due to low production volume and presence of an impurity that hinders secondary market value. |
||
2010 | Other Environmental Practices - Source reduction activities performed in 2009. No new activities performed in 2010. | ||

Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Facility has substituted acetone for this material in a nmber of product lines. Increased demand for products where acetonitrile is utilized has offset use numbers ,but has reduced amount of waste that could have been generated. |
2008 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Due to the availability challenges of acetonitrile in 2008, facility was able to identify and subsitute another material as a partial replacement for acetonitrile in our manufacturing processes which have used acetonitrile in the past. |
2007 | Source Reduction - Process chemistry changes resulted in a large reduction of volume used and subsequent wastes and emissions generated. |
