|
Barriers to P2 - Many different ideas and thoughts have been researched regarding the major contributor of our lead compounds. We have looked into deplating and replating the graphite anode in order to reduce the amount of lead sent out as hazardous waste. At this time, there have been no options that have made sense. It seems that the best way to reduce this waste stream is to make our anode as efficient as possible. |

Source Reduction - We found we were discarding many waste drums that were not full. We instituted satellite accumulation areas where applicable. This allowed us to send out full drums. |
2011 | Source Reduction - We implemented several satellite accumulation areas which ensures we will be sending out full drums of waste and improving the accuracy of our figures. | ||

Other Environmental Practices - AMPAC USE LEAD COATED GRAPHITE ANODES IN AN ELECTROLYTIC PROCESS. AMPAC'S RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT IS EXPLORING ALTERNATIVES TO REPLACE THE LEAD ANODE WITH LESS TOXIC MATERIALS. AMPAC IS ALSO TESTING ELECTROLYTIC PROCESSES THAT DO NOT USE A LEAD COATED CARBON GRAPHITE ANODE. BOTH OF THESE ALTERNATIVES WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE LEAD USED IN THE PROCESS. THESE ALTERNATIVES ARE YEARS FROM BEING READY TO IMPLEMENT. AMPAC's R&D Department is also working on a process to deplate and replate the anodes. |
