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*
2024		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility replaced integral processing equipment in 2021 that has allowed the facility to increase production while also reducing the amount of hexane lost per ton of soybeans processed. This can be seen in the facilities already below MACT standard emission rate. Production setpoints, process handling and automation are continually refined and maximized. For these reasons, reductions in n-Hexane emissions may not be possible at this time.
2023		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility replaced integral processing equipment in 2021 that has allowed the facility to increase production while also reducing the amount of hexane lost per ton of soybeans processed. This can be seen in the facilities already below MACT standard emission rate. Production setpoints, process handling and automation are continually refined and maximized. For these reasons, reductions in n-Hexane emissions may not be possible at this time.
2022		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility replaced integral processing equipment in 2021 that has allowed the facility to increase production while also reducing the amount of hexane lost per ton of soybean processed. This can be seen in the facilities already below MACT standard emission rate. Production setpoints, process handling and automation are continually refined and maximized. For these reasons, reductions in n-Hexane emissions may not be possible at this time.
2021	Source Reduction:: S24: Modified or updated equipment or layout	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)	S24: The facility replaced integral processing equipment in 2021 that has allowed the facility to increase production while also reducing the amount of hexane lost per ton of soybean processed.
2020		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility was built with the latest technological advancements in oilseed extracting available. This can be seen in the facilities already below MACT standard emission rate. Additional process control related improvements have been made since the plant construction. Production setpoints, process handling and automation have been further refined and maximized. For these reasons, reductions in n-Hexane emissions may not be possible at this time.
2019		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility was built with the latest technological advancements in oilseed extracting available. This can be seen in the facilities already below MACT standard emission rate. Additional process control related improvements have been made since the plant construction. Production set points, process handling and automation have been further refined and maximized. For these reasons, reductions in n-Hexane emissions may bot be possible at this time.
2018		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility was built with the latest technological advancements in oilseed extracting available. This can be seen in the facilities already below MACT standard emission rate. Additional process control related improvements have been made since the plant construction. Production set points, process handling and automation have been further refined and maximized. For these reasons, reductions in n-Hexane emissions may not be possible at this time.
2017		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility was built with the latest technological advancements in oilseed extracting available. This can be seen in the facilities already below MACT standard emission rate. Additional process control related improvements have been made since the plant construction. Production set points, process handling and automation have been further refined and maximized. For this reason, reductions in n-Hexane emissions may not be possible at this time.
2016		Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas	Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The facility was built with the latest technological advancements in oilseed extracting available. This can be seen in the facility?s already below MACT standard emission rate. Additional, process control related improvements have been made since the plant construction. Production set points, process handling and automation have been further refined and maximized. For this reason reductions in n-Hexane emissions may not be possible at this time.
