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*
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 - New Scrubber and Point Source Ventilation System as of 2017

2018 Source Reduction:: W39: Other spill or leak prevention[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
W39: Improved MI requirements for outdoor storage tanks.


Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - 3P (Pollution Prevention Pays) Program activities3M Sustainability Goals

2017 Source Reduction:: W35: Installed vapor recovery systems[-25-49%]
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-5-14%]
Source Reduction:: W55: Changed from small volume containers to bulk containers to minimize discarding[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)

W35: New Scrubber for improved vapor treatment (estimated efficiency improvement from 70 to 99%)
W52: 43% Reduction in number of valves and connections after redesign and process update
W55: Elimination of small transfer containers for in process material during production.

2016 Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
Source Reduction:: W32: Improved procedures for loading, unloading, and transfer operations
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Capital Project to Improve Scrubber Efficiency Implemented in 2016.

2015 Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Capital project in process will be implemented in 2017


Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Current capital projects include a scrubber upgrade that will increase scrubber efficiency from approximately 70% to greater than 99% removal. This improvement will result in substantially lower overall BF3 emissions from the facility in 2017.

2014 Other Barriers to Source Reduction - improved scrubber for onsite treatment in capital program onging
