Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
|
Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - The metals reported here are components of our product. We cannot lower the amount of material we use without lowering production. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Delta Centrifugal is committed to human health, safety, and the environment.

Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
|
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Delta Centrifugal is committed to honoring human health and the environment. We are an ISO 14001 company, operating with an Environmental Management Plan. Our plan is inclusive of a Safety Management Plan as well. As a result, we have removed the use of lead (Pb) in our production line, began a recycling program for office materials, worked on swapping out our lamps for more environmentally-friendly technology, and moved towards the use of greener cleaning materials. Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - The wastes reported here are material ingredients in our production. We cannot operate a metals-casting company without using metals. |

Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Delta Centrifugal is ISO9000, ISO14000, and OHSAS18000 certified. We have an active environmental, health, and safety management plan. Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Delta Centrifugal has an active Pollution Prevention team, looking for ways to increase efficiency while minimizing impacts to health, safety, and the environment. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Delta Centrifugal recycles as much of its scrap metal as possible. This is done through on-site reuse and off-site recycling. In addition, purchased feedstock is most often recycled material. |

Barriers to P2 - The facility increased production in 2013, making significant capital investment. Materials reported here are the metals used in making our product. As production increases, waste material will also increase, simply through volume. We cannot make steel without nickel, so this compound will not be reduced.

| 2012 |
Other Environmental Practices - Facility is evaluating process changes to decrease amount of scrap/slag generated.
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Foundry ceased production of Pb-containing alloys in 2009. Other metals, including chromium, will remain in use. |

TRI Pollution Prevention Glossary
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.

- A breakdown of production-related waste managed. This includes all amounts of the chemical released directly to the environment or otherwise managed as waste, other than waste generated by one-time events not associated with normal production processes (e.g., fires or remedial actions).
- A production ratio or activity index to provide context for reported toxic chemical quantities. For example, if a chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerators, the production index would track the number of refrigerators produced and could be used to help gauge how much of the chemical is being released per unit of production.
- Any newly implemented source reduction activities, reported using "W-codes" (e.g., "W41: Increased purity of raw materials")
