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* |
---|---|---|---|
2010 | Other Environmental Practices - We collect non-medicated baghouse dust from the production of vitamin trace mineral premixes and remix the dust in a dedicated mixer and then take composite samples and send them for analysis of vitamins and minerals including zinc and reblend the dust back into new production at a very low rate based on the analytical values to reduce waste going to landfill - Previous "Green" project. | ||
2009 | Other Environmental Practices - We continue to capture all of our non-medicated baghouse dust and rework at a low rate into vitamin trace mineral premix. A dedicated mixer is utilized to mix up a batch of dust and package off into totes. The totes are identified by lot # and weight. The totes are probed and a composite sample is sent off to a laboratory for analysis for the major minerals and vitamins so the batch can be worked back into new production utilizing analytical results. A dedicated poly bin mounted onto a Loss-In-Weight system tied into the automated batching system is utilized to weigh out the proper amount per formulation requirements. The batching system tracks the distribution of each lot through a full lot traceability system | ||

Other Environmental Practices - To reduce the release of this compound and others we implemented a pollution prevention plan that includes the capture of baghouse dust from our vitamin trace mineral premix production and packaging processes. We collect the material in mixer loads. Currently we have a dedicated mixer to mix individual batches of baghouse dust. We then package it off with a individual batch identification #. Then we take and send samples in for analysis so that we can accurately blend the material back into vitamin trace mineral premix production per the analytical results. This is done through bar-Coding the individual batch and tracking the batch usage through a dedicated poly bin loss-In-Weight system tied into our automated batching system and formulating it in at a very low rate. Any questions regarding this pollution prevention program, please contact kent woods @ 815-539-9321 ext. 13. |

Source Reduction - We installed a dedicated pneumatic transfer line to a dedicated bin with a dedicated high efficiency baghouse filtering system to bring zinc sulfate into the plant in tanker loads vs buying this product in 50 lb bags. We had done the same for zinc oxide a few years ago. This is a big improvement for our employees regarding the reduction in manual material handling, reduced dust, and improved efficiencies. |
