Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - AN ENHANCE4D GRADIENT DRAGOUT SYSTEM CONSERVES PLATING CHEMICALS, INCLUDING PRECIOUS METALS BY PROVIDING A SERIES OF TANKS WITH CASCADING RINSE SOLUTIONS HAVING A FLOW RATE CONTROLLED BY HEATING THE FIRST TANK TO INCREASE THE EVAPORATION RATE . A PORTION OF THE CONCENTRATED SOLUTION IN THE HEATED TANK IS RETURNED TO THE PROCESS TANK. THE SYSTEM MINIMIZES THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CLEAN RINSE WATER, AND THE NEED FOR EMPTYING CONTAMINATED RINSE TANKS WITH ASSOCIATED RECOVERY AND DISPOSAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND COST ISSUES. THE LOW COST SYSTEM IS FLEXIBLE AND THE PROCESS IS ADAPTED TO THE MATERIAL AND PROCESS REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLATING LINES. ALL PLATING TANKS HAS AIR KNIVES, SPONGE ROLLER AND FLOW RESTRICTORS. |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Interplex is a "Job Shop" Connector House. Our work flows and process flows are defined by our diverse customer base. Each customer has a unique and defined process flow which may use a variety of different chemical solution. These job opportunities do not always followed a repeatable schedule and because of this, Interplex's year to year chemical usages are not always very predictable and repeatable |

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")
