W49: Converted utility boilers from No. 2 Fuel Oil to Natural Gas consumption. Source Reduction - This was performed for increased security in continuity of fuel supply and to reduce operating costs. Source Reduction - The boilers were modified to combust either natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil. Combustion of natural gas (as opposed to No. 2 fuel oil) resulted in a decrease of PACs manufactured, and thereby released, through combustion. |
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.
