Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical

2020 |
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Our RTO and resin curing process are highly refined and there is little room for improvement. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - We already treat process vapors and liquids on site and do so with great efficiency. |

2019 |
Source Reduction:: W84: Developed a new chemical product to replace previous chemical product

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W84: We continue to improve the process for producing Polyurethane-based product, which does not use styrene or any styrene-based resins. This has reduced our reliance on polyester product, as seen in the reduction in our Activity Ratio (from 1.06 in RY2018 to 1.05 in RY2019). Source Reduction - Compare the activity ratios of RY 2018 and RY 2019 in our TRI's. (down from 1.06 in RY2018 to 1.05 in RY2019) Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - We already ship minimal amounts of styrene in the form of hazardous waste, and we already process waste styrene in house via cure-off and thermal oxidation. Without any other alternate technologies available to us, there isn't a feasible means of reducing styrene releases that we haven't already implemented. |
2018 |
Source Reduction:: W84: Developed a new chemical product to replace previous chemical product
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W84: We began producing a Polyurethane resin which does not have any styrene. This product has seen a significant demand in our market due to its strength and thermal properties. As we expand our operations, we are seeing our Polyurethane production dominate much of our growth, reducing our reliance on Polyester resin and styrene to grow as a company. Source Reduction - Research and Development developed a marketable way of producing Polyurethane resin and, through a joint effort of our marketing and engineering teams, found a way to develop usable products for this resin. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - There aren't many alternative methods to improve our current release prevention. We have methods in place to minimize total styrene released outside of the process, and these methods are reasonably efficient. |

Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W14: reduced shutdown waste by placing orders back to back to keep line running. Source Reduction - no formal company program, management decision |
2016 |
Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W14: Scheduling is improving providing long production run thus lowering waste and raw material usage |
2014 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers |
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management |
W13: W13, T05 - We have optimized our thermal oxidizer efficiency by diligently repairing and replacing worn parts and monitoring parameters to anticipate failures of operation. The last stack test yielded the highest efficiency since the equipment was installed in 1992. W14: W14, T04 Continued to pursue continuous processing by linking orders to reduce production shutdown thus reducing scrap material Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Continued process improvement to reduce raw materials and process scrap due to manufacture of product |
2013 |
Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - We have manage to reduce the amount of starting and stopping production by placing orders together to provide longer production runs reducing materials needed because of less startup and shutdown scrap |
2008 | Other Environmental Practices - Since the opening of Tecton Products LLC in 1992 we have operated and maintained total permanent enclosures for each production line connected to a regenerative thermal oxidizer for VOC and styrene vapor destruction. |
