Source Reduction - Fugitive emission reduction activities for 2008 are as follows: Continued leak detection program. Weekly solvent use meetings with key management personnel.Plant Air Quality Improvement Project The project was undertaken in 2005 and it was completed near years end of 2006. The project consisted of several walls that were built within the production facility to separate the extrusion/calendaring operations from the extraction-product molding/drying operations. The walls separate smoke emitting activities from TCE emitting activities. The process oil has very low levels of residual TCE now and the bag houses and fiber beds exhaust streams are now discharged to atmosphere. Roughly 32,000 ft3/min of air, or half the current SLA capacity is currently used in key areas of the plant to reduce fugitives. A side effect of this discharge that we expect is extended activated carbon life because historically baghouse dust and PAQ oil smoke have contaminated the carbon. The project reduced overall plant site Trichloroethylene emissions from 58.9 tons annually by year end of 2007 to 55.9 by years end of 2008. In addition to separating the extraction-(sheet properties setting) & winding sections from the rest of the production operation with walls, we also added a Trichloroethylene monitoring system in order to monitor potential fugitive zones and take action to minimize zone concentrations through process adjustments. |

A side effect of this discharge that we expect is extended activated carbon life because historically baghouse dust and paq oil smoke have contaminated the carbon. The project reduced overall plant site trichloroethylene emissions from 113.3 tons in 2006 to 58.9 tons annually by year end of 2007. In addition to separating the extraction-(Sheet properties setting) & winding sections from the rest of the production operation with walls, we also added a trichloroethylene monitoring system in order to monitor potential fugitive zones and take action to minimize zone concentrations through process adjustments. |

Source Reduction - Successes: Implementation of (3) separate projects to reach the same goal. 1.) Line 8 product drying technology change. 2.) Line 12 solvent vapor concentration reduction equipment. 3.) Interior plant air segregation project. (In process of implementation, no final reduction figures.) Challenges: 1.) Internal re-design and operation learning curve. 2.) Technology search and operation learning curve. 3.) The logistical challenges of installing interior walls around existing equipment along with convincing management that the solvent use reduction warrents the financial encumbrance Opportunities: 1.) Leads to inovative solvent reduction thinking. 2.) Reduced carbon bed loading resulting in less hazardous waste generation. 3.) Improved effeciency. The plant air segregation may enhance oil and solvent recovery system performance and reduce carbon bed loading resulting in less hazardous waste generation. |
