Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance |
Source Reduction - Working with the company that made the etch regenerators to improve their efficiency. Source Reduction - Reduce spills and leaks by monitoring the process more Source Reduction - Reduce spills, identify leaks quicker by increased monitoring, then setting a time limit to repair once identified. |
2008 |
Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Modified work instruction for rinsing of chromic acid cans so that more residue rinsed from cans is placed into process tank and less is discharged to wastewater treatment. |
2007 |
Source Reduction:: W33: Installed overflow alarms or automatic shutoff valves
Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications |
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management |
Source Reduction - Installed overflow alarms and level limits to reduce overflows. Reduced overflows results in less soluton loss and less metals in the wastewater sludge. |

Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Reduced water usage by: 1) combined plating rinse baths together to reduce volume of water used. 2) air lift water from the bottom drain at the back of tank to the top front of the next rinse tank. 3) improve water circulation in the rinse tanks. 4) install filters on rinses to remove particles from rinse. Reduced water usage results in less water requiring treatment, which results in reduced releases of metals & nitrates. |

The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.
