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* |
---|---|---|---|
2021 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Process development began exploring alternatives to Methylene Chloride use in 2021. |
||
2020 |
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 dichloromethane use in manufacturing at this time. |
|
2018 |
Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - amount of waste sent off for treatment increased due to regulatory burdens on downstream users. Causing them not to take high purity byproduct. |
||
2017 |
Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Diverted 97,000 lbs of high purity methylene byproduct to beneficial reuse, avoiding disposal of the amount of material in 2017. |
||
2015 |
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
|
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Facility is continuing to segregate high purity methylene chloride from waste streams and sell as byproduct. Facility diverted 116,032 lbs from waste to sell to customer for beneficial secondary use. |
|
2014 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - We recover high purity methylene chloride for sale as a by-product. Recovery and Sale of this material has diverted 80,512 lbs of methylene chloride from hazardous waste disposal. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - As of this time, we have not been able to identify a solvent that can be substituted for methylene chloride in our manufacturing processes |
|
2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - pollution prevention previously implemented - continuing. |
||
2012 | Other Environmental Practices - Increased the collection sources which generate high purity methylene chloride, which is then sold to a buyer who has a beneficial use for this quality of material. This decreases the amount of halogenated solvent that our facility has to dispose of. | ||
2011 | Other Environmental Practices - Source reduction activities from RY2010 and earlier have been carried over and maintained. | ||
2010 | Other Environmental Practices - Source reduction activities implemented in 2009 have been carried over to 2010. Production activity up for year which corresponds to an increase in waste produced. | ||
2009 |
Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Eliminated extraction steps in manufacturing process which provided no benefit to product quality. This reduced amount of solvent required in manufacturing process. Solvent use increased in 2009 due to increased product demand. Amount recycled off-site has been minimized due to segregation of this material for direct sale of high purity material to customers as a by-product. |
2008 |
Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
|
Source Reduction - Eliminated excessive column preparation using methylene chloride. No addtional initiatives |
2007 |
