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* |
---|---|---|---|
2014 |
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
|
W52: Asphalt plant has been upgraded to add insullation to all piping reducing the need for heating. This in turn reduces fuel combustion for heating. In addition facilty now combusts clean natural gas in heaters and dru mixer. |
2013 |
Source Reduction:: W33: Installed overflow alarms or automatic shutoff valves
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management |
W33: Overfill deivices with auto-cut off were installed to prevent accidental overfill. |

Source Reduction - Our gowan asphalt plant has applied a number of source reduction strategies to reduce releases of toxic chemical (PACS). First we have implemented a burner control which reduces fuel usage and relases to air. Second, we have insulated tanks and lines which reduces the need to expend fuel to heat oil, and finally our QA programs and inventory control ensure that only necessary amounts are used. |
