Source Reduction:: S35: Other improvements to inventory and material management
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
S35: Tech sale of lower grade material. Source Reduction - Identified outlets for lower grade product. |
2019 |
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system[-15-24%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W15: Facility has had a 97% decrease in the amount of ammonia discharged in the facility's wastewater to the POTW due to process changes. Source Reduction - Due to tighter POTW requirements the site has started to implement various practices and equipment upgrades to reduce the amount of ammonia in the site's wastewater stream |
2018 |
Source Reduction: Ways P2 Was Incorporated in Original Process Design - Decreased amount of ammonia being treated and disposed by returning to process |
||
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W35: Installed vapor recovery systems
Source Reduction:: W55: Changed from small volume containers to bulk containers to minimize discarding[-5-14%] |
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management |
W35: improved equipment changes to increase production and reduce amount of time to produce batches reducing the amount of vapor released. Source Reduction - Transfer of material to customer in tank wagon and isotainer bulk volume while maintaining purity requirements. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Recycled off spec material instead of disposal or neutralization Source Reduction: Ways P2 Was Incorporated in Original Process Design - Returned to process instead of disposal or neutralization. |

Source Reduction:: W81: Changed product specifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance |
W81: We downgraded specifications for specific customers that do not require a certain purity level. This allows us to sell this product instead of neutralization. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - KMG uses basic neutralization for ammonia. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - KMG regularly reworks material to bring it back into customer specifications. |

|
W22: Material may be downgraded and sold as a product to other customers if it does not meet higher standards. Source Reduction - A team has been established to identify material that can be reworked as a product or returned to the process. Source Reduction - KMG Pueblo routinely recycles, reworks, or returns to the process any off spec material produced. The material that cannot be reworked is sold as a product to vendors not involved with our primary customers. We waste very little product as hazardous waste. |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Management team meets monthly to disposition material for rework or resale to a wholesaler in a non competitive market |
2010 | Other Environmental Practices - Off spec material is routinely rework to bring it up to spec or sold as tech grade product to a wholesaler. Ammonia os rarely discarded | ||
2009 | Other Environmental Practices - Off spec chemical is routinely reworked to bring it up to spec. Rarely is ammonia discarded | ||
2008 | Other Environmental Practices - The Pueblo Plant reworks the majority of the offspec material it produces in order to minimize the amount disposed of. Offspec chemical that cannot be reworked is sold to a vendor for resale. The amount that cannot be reworked or resold is disposed of by neutralization and the neutralized material is disposed of in the City of Pueblo POTW. | ||
