W36: Implementation of a Leak Detection and Repair Program that monitors fugitive emissions from tanks and reactors. W58: Implementation of Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer in 2017. The purpose of this unit is to capture and destroy 99% process vent emissions from reactors/tanks/loading & unloading processes which accounts for our large process source reduction. Source Reduction - New NSR air permit identified the need for better control systems and also to add flexibility to production.

Other Environmental Practices: Source Reduction - This chemical is listed on the facility P2 plan to reduce releases in air and waste. However, production and operations at the facility fluctuate with the market, and more methanol was used in 2015 for production purposes. Additionally, non-conforming product was also disposed of at the end of the year. We anticipate reduced emissions for upcoming years, with the installation of emission control devices (RTO) in 2016. |
